Connect the 2-TRACK A and B outputs to
external recording devices to record the

Connect the DAW output jacks to the
inputs on your recording interface to
record the signal from your INPUTS 1-4.
INPUTS 1, 2 and 4 can be recorded
individually or mixed together
(depending on the position of the
SOURCE SELECT switches) via the internal USB audio
interface as a stereo signal to your computer.
The signal from INPUT 3 cannot be recorded via USB,
but if you press SOURCE SELECT 3, you can listen to
the stereo playback signal coming back from your
computer. By this logic it is possible to
"rec-while-play" to your computer without the
danger of producing a feedback loop. If you press
SOURCE SELECT 3 along with 1, 2 or 4 while audio
signals are coming in via the rear line inputs,
these signals will be mixed together. The USB audio
interface is class-compliant, and can be used with
ASIO drivers for extra low latency (such as ASIO4ALL
or our BEHRINGER USB ASIO driver, available for
download from behringer.com).
