USB connections

Using the included USB cable, connect the
US-144MKII to your computer as shown in
the illustration.
USB
NOTE
Some USB devices access the USB bus
frequently. To avoid dropouts and clicks in
the audio signal, we strongly recommend
that you do not connect other USB devices
to the USB bus used by the US-144MKII.
USB keyboards and mice are exceptions to
this, and will probably not cause problems.

Audio connections

Connect the output signal of your mic,
guitar, keyboard, or other audio device to
the US-144MKII, where it will be converted
into digital audio and sent via USB to
your computer. Connect the output of the
US-144MKII to your speakers (via an
amp) or headphones, so you will be able to
monitor the audio signals coming into the
US-144MKII or being produced by your
computer.
The balance between the input signal from
the mic and guitar and the output signal
from the computer should be adjusted by the
knob.
