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/INST IN 1
and MIC/LINE IN 2 standard TRS jacks on the
front panel.
When using the MIC/LINE/INST IN 1 jack
with these types of devices, set the INST/
LINE switch on the rear panel to LINE.
Analog record player
The output of an analog record player
cannot be connected directly to the US-200.
You must connect a phono amp between
your analog record player and the US-200.
(Alternatively, you can connect it via an audio
amp that has
PHONO
inputs.)
Line input devices, including
MD/CD recorders and effect
boxes
Connect the LINE OUT 3/4 jacks to the
analog line inputs of compatible devices.
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 jacks on the front panel.
Connecting MIDI devices
Connect your sound module, keyboard/
synthesizer, drum machine, or other MIDI
device to the US-200 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
Audio Workstation) computer application to
synchronize with your MIDI equipment.
NOTE
When using Windows Media Player, if the
MIDI music playback output destination
(default device) is set to
Microsoft GS
Wavetable SW Synth
in the
Sounds and
Audio Devices part of the Control Panel , you
cannot listen to MIDI performances through
this unit’s LINE OUT 1/2/3/4 and PHONES
output.
