USB connections
Using the included cable, connect the
US-144 to your computer as shown in the
illustration.
NOTE
Some USB devices access the USB bus
frequently. To avoid dropouts and clicks
in the audio signal, we strongly recom-
mend that you do not connect other
USB devices to the USB bus used by the
US-144.
USB keyboards and mice are exceptions
to this, and will probably not cause
problems.
USB
Computer
Audio connections
Connect the output signal of your mic, gui-
tar, keyboard, or other audio device to the
US-144, where it will be converted into
digital audio and sent via USB to your
computer. Connect the output of the
US-144 to your speakers (via an amp) or
headphones, so you will be able to monitor
the audio signals coming into the US-144
or being produced by your computer.
NOTE
The US-144 has two input channels (
L
,
R
), with a
MIC IN
jack (XLR) ,
LINE IN
and
LINE/GUITAR IN
jack (1/4” phone
jack) provided for each channel. Do not
connect signals to both of these analog
input jacks at the same time. If both are
connected, the signal will not be cor-
rectly input to the US-144.
Mic
Connect your mics to the
MIC IN
(
L
,
R
)
jacks (XLR). If you are using a condenser
mic that requires phantom power, turn on
the phantom power.
