Setup
Unpack Your Microphone
Begin by examining the contents of your UR-1. You should have the following components:
• Carrying case
• UR-1 microphone
• Desktop microphone stand
• USB cable
• Cleaning cloth
Correct Positioning and Back Controls
The red LED should be facing you when you speak or sing into the microphone. If recording
instruments, the red LED should be facing the instrument. Maintain a distance of approximately
4 – 6 inches when speaking or singing into the microphone. For instruments, experiment with the
distance to find the best results.
Red LED
When the red LED is illuminated, this indicates that the microphone is connected to USB power
and functioning correctly.
USB Connection
The small end of the USB cable plugs in here. The microphone is backwards compatible with USB
1.1 and 2.0. We do not recommend that you plug the microphone into a hub, as this could poten-
tially limit the power and audio bandwidth the microphone needs to operate.
Analog Gain Control
Use this dial to control the record level of the microphone into the computer. This control changes
the analog signal before A/D converter.
