 5V DC connector

Connect this to a commercially available USB AC adaptor.

About the USB AC adaptor

Read the section on 

“Using the Unit Safely”

 in the manual 

included with your USB AC adaptor. Use a USB AC adaptor 

that meets the following specifications.

 

5

USB micro-B type

 

5

Output voltage: 4.8–5.2 V

 

5

Output current: 1 A or higher

We have verified that the Rubix operates with typical USB 

AC adaptors that meet the above conditions, but cannot 

guarantee that it will work with all adaptors that meet these 

conditions.
Be aware that even under identical conditions, differences 

in the design specifications of a USB AC adaptor and 

differences in the conditions of use might make the Rubix 

operate or perform differently.

 [POWER SOURCE] switch

Selects the connector from which power is obtained.

Connector from which power is obtained

5V DC connector (A commercially available USB 

adaptor is required.)

USB port (Power is supplied from the connected 

computer.)

3

 USB port (

Connects to the computer.

 MIDI (OUT, IN) connectors

Connect the MIDI OUT connector to an external MIDI sound 

module, etc.
Connect the MIDI IN connector to a MIDI keyboard or MIDI 

controller.

 OUTPUT (1L, 2R, 3L, 4R) jacks (balanced TRS type)

Output the analog audio signal.

MEMO

 

5

Pin assignment of OUTPUT jack

GND (SLEEVE)

HOT (TIP)

COLD (RING)

 

5

The wiring of this device uses 

“impedance balancing.”

 The 

audio signal is conveyed via HOT and GND in unbalanced 

form, but since COLD and GND are connected by a resistor, 

the electrical circuit is balanced. This provides the same 

noise-reducing effect as a balanced circuit.

6

 [GROUND LIFT] switch

OUTPUT (1L, 2R, 3L, 4R) 

jacks (balanced TRS 

type)

NOR

LIFT

Normally, this switch should 

be set to 

“NOR”

 (NORMAL).

If ground loop noise occurs, 

switching this to 

“LIFT”

 

might eliminate the noise.

MEMO

 

5

The GND (SLEEVE) of the OUTPUT (1L, 2R, 3L, 4R) jacks (TRS 

balanced type) is disconnected from ground.

 

5

In some cases, there might be no sound if you connect a 

balanced cable to an unbalanced device and set this switch 

to the 

“LIFT”

 position. If so, set the switch to 

“NOR.”

7

 [LOOPBACK] switch

If this is turned on, the audio signal that is input to the 

INPUT (1L, 2R) jacks is mixed with the audio signal played back from 

the computer, and this mixed signal is then sent back (returned) to 

the computer. You can use this for live broadcasting to the internet.

MEMO

If you intend to turn the [LOOPBACK] switch on, you should 

turn off your DAW software’s monitor function and the 

monitoring function of Windows. Failing to do this will cause 

oscillation (feedback) or doubling of the input sound.

8

 [COMP/LIMIT TYPE] switch

Switches the response of the built-in compressor/limiter circuit 

(p. 19).

9

 [PHONES SOURCE] switch

Selects the audio signal that is monitored in headphones.
