Sound module/MD/CD etc.
(digital connection)
Connect the digital inputs and outputs of
these types of devices to the unit’s DIGITAL
IN and OUT jacks on the rear panel.
NOTE
This unit’s
•
DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks are
RCA pin jacks.
This unit can output either S/PDIF or AES/
•
EBU digital signals. Set the type of output
using the control panel.
CAUTION
To use the DIGITAL IN jack, you must set
the Sample Clock Source to automatic in
the software control panel. This makes the
connected device into the clock master
If Sample Clock Source is set to internal no
signal will be input through the DIGITAL
IN jack, and the DIGITAL OUT signal will be
looped back inside the US-600 to the digital
input. In this case, depending on the settings
of the computer software that you are using,
the digital out signal could become looped,
causing noise. We describe an example of this
situation and measures to prevent it below
Example
In the DAW application, suppose that the
input of a track is assigned to the US-600
DIGITAL IN and its output is assigned to
the US-600 DIGITAL OUT. In this case, the
following noise loop is created if the input
of that track is monitored: track output to
US-600 digital output to US-600 digital
input to track input to track output, and so
on.
Countermeasure
To prevent this type of loop, turn input
monitoring off in the DAW software or
assign the input of that track to anything
besides the US-600 digital input.
Connecting keyboards, drum
machines, sound modules,
cassette/MD/CD players and
other analog line level devices
Connect analog signal outputs from these
types of devices to the MIC/LINE IN 2
standard TRS jack on the front panel and the
MIC/LINE IN 3 and 4 standard TRS jacks on
the rear panel.
Analog record player
The output of an analog record player
cannot be connected directly to the US-600.
You must connect a phono amp between
your analog record player and the US-600.
(Alternatively, you can connect it via an audio
amp that has PHONO inputs.)
Monitor speakers
Connect monitor speakers (powered monitor
speakers or an amplifier and speakers) to the
LINE OUT 1/2 jacks on the rear panel.
Headphones
Connect headphones to the standard stereo
PHONES jack on the front panel.
Connecting MIDI devices
Connect your sound module, keyboard/
synthesizer, drum machine, or other MIDI
device to the US-600 as shown below.
If you want to monitor the sound of a sound
module, keyboard/synthesizer or drum
machine, connect the output of that device
to this unit’s LINE IN. Alternatively, to monitor
using an external mixer, connect the outputs
of that device and the LINE OUT jacks of this
unit to the external mixer inputs.
You can use the MIDI IN/MIDI OUT
connectors on the rear panel to transmit
and receive MTC (MIDI Time Code). This
allows the MTC-compatible DAW (Digital
