USB connections

Using the included cable, connect the
US-144 to your computer as shown in the
illustration.

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) and LINE 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 correctly input to the
US-144.

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.
Mic
Connect your mics to the
jacks (XLR). If you are using a condenser
mic that requires phantom power, turn on
the phantom power.
