Connecting the power

When using a computer (Windows/Mac)

Normally, when this unit is connected to a computer, it will operate using USB bus power, so connecting a separate power supply device is not necessary.

When using an iOS device

When this unit is connected to an iOS device, connecting an external battery, USB power adapter or other power supply device is necessary in order to power the unit.
Connect an AC adapter (TASAM PS-P520E), external battery pack (TASCAM BP-6AA) or the genuine Apple USB power adapter included with the iPad/ iPhone to a USB cable (sold separately), and connect it to the DC IN 5V port (w).

• No USB power adapter is included with an iPod touch. To use it with an iPod touch, purchase a genuine Apple USB power adapter (that can supply 5 V and a current of at least 700 mA) separately.
• Operation with other external battery packs and USB power adapters is possible, but we strongly recommend using a TASCAM PS-P520E AC adapter, TASCAM BP-6AA external battery pack or the genuine Apple USB power adapter included with the iPad/iPhone.
  When using another external battery pack or USB power adapter, be sure that the power supply device meets the following specifications.
• Supplied voltage: 5 V
• Supplied current: 700 mA or more
  Using a power supply device when the specifications are other than the above could cause malfunction, overheating, fire or other problems. If anything abnormal occurs, stop use and contact the retailer where you purchased the unit or a TEAC service center to request repair.

Connecting other equipment

Example (front)

Example (back)

*NOTE:
When using an iOS device, you must also connect an external battery pack or USB power supply to assure power.

• Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby).
• The phantom power affects both input channels simultaneously. Do not turn phantom power on when connecting a mic that does not require phantom power.
• Set the phantom power switch to +48V only when using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power.
• Turning phantom power +48V when a dynamic mic or other mic that does not require it is connected could damage this unit and connected equipment.
• Do not connect or disconnect mics while phantom power is on. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and connected equipment.
• Set the LINE OUT and PHONES knobs to their minimum values before turning phantom power on/off. Depending on the connected mics, sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment could occur, and this could damage the equipment or harm hearing.
• When using condenser mics that require phantom power and dynamic mics together, be sure to use balanced dynamic mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot be used when phantom power is enabled.
• Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will break them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic.

Connecting with iOS devices

To connect an iOS device, you will need a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter(*1) and an external power supply device(*2).

1. *You must obtain a genuine Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter separately.
2. *Use a power supply device as described in "Connecting the power" in this manual.

Adjusting the input sound

Analog audio signals input into this device from mics, guitars, keyboards and other audio equipment can be converted into digital signals and transmitted to the computer via USB.

You can use the features of this unit to adjust the digital signals that are sent to the computer.

In addition, by connecting speakers (through an amplifier if not powered) or headphones to this unit, you can monitor audio signals that are input to this unit and output from the computer.

Use the various controls on the front of the unit as necessary while listening to the input sound.

Example

Use the GAIN knobs (3) to adjust the analog input levels of the IN1/IN2 jacks (1) so that the PEAK indicators (2) above and to the right of the GAIN knobs do not light.
To listen to the monitoring signal using headphones, connect the headphones to the PHONES jack (4) and adjust the PHONES knob (5).

NOTE:

• If you cannot hear the input sound through the headphones or the LINE OUT L-R jacks, check the settings of the 4 LINE OUT L-R item on the Settings Panel screen
• Confirm that the DIRECT MONITOR switch is set to ON.

Troubleshooting

   Check the compatible operating system of the software you are trying to install again.
2. Stop software running in the background
   Antivirus software and other software that runs in the background can prevent installation.
   Quit software that runs in the background and try installation again.

The unit is connected, but the computer does not recognize it.

1. Install the dedicated software

• Install the dedicated software.
  Please refer to "Installing the dedicated software" this manual.

2. Change the USB port

• This unit cannot be used with USB 1.1. Use a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port.
• Do not use a USB hub with this unit. Always connect the unit directly to a USB port on the computer.
• If the above methods do not resolve the problem, connect the unit to a different USB port on the computer.

I cannot hear any sound even when audio is played back on the computer.
Check the status of the unit's connection with the computer.
Moreover, if you make the following settings, sound will be output through this unit, but no sound will be output by the computer's speakers or headphone jack.

Windows

See the "Windows Media Player" section of "Application guide" in the Reference Manual, and make settings as necessary for the OS.

Mac

1. Quit all applications and open "System Preferences..." from the Apple menu.
2. Open "Sound".
3. On the Output tab, select "US-1x2".
   After completing the setting, restart the computer and check the sound of playback.
   Depending on the application that you are using, you might need to make additional device settings.
   In particular, DAW software operates using audio engines with settings that are different from the OS settings, so confirm the DAW driver settings first after installing the software for this unit.
   Please see the manuals for the applications that you are using for detailed setting procedures.

Sound breaks up or there is noise.
The processing load on the computer causes sound to break up and noise to occur.
Here are some methods to reduce the load on the computer.

1. A wireless LAN and software running in the background, including antivirus software, regularly put processing loads on the computer, which can cause sound to break up and other noise.
   Stop wireless LAN transmission, antivirus software and other software running in the background when using this unit.
2. Set the buffer size (latency) in the audio application that you are using or in this unit's Settings Panel to a larger value. (Windows only)

NOTE:
Consult the maker of the audio application that you are using for methods to reduce its load on your computer.

3. Change the settings of your computer so that they are optimal for audio processing.
