Overview
5 Things About UC1
UC1 follows you around – like a loyal dog or trusty sidekick
Opening a Channel Strip 2 or Bus Compressor 2 plug-in GUI in the DAW automatically causes UC1 to focus on that plug-in.
You don't have to look at the computer screen to use it.
You can scroll through and select the Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 plug-in you want to control and see the DAW track
name that the plug-in is inserted on, directly from UC1.
You can operate multiple controls at once
Some plug-in controllers are restrictive because they limit you to turning one knob at a time, which isn't very helpful when EQ'ing
a source. Thankfully, this is not the case with UC1 - grab two controls at once, no problem.
The Bus Compressor Meter
The Bus Compressor meter brings a new dimension to mixing with plug-ins by providing a truly analogue experience. The meter
is driven from the Bus Compressor 2 plug-in and allows you to allows keep an eye on your compression levels.
The SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer
All of your Channel Strips and Bus Compressors arranged side by side - get that big console feeling.

Unpacking
The unit has been carefully packed and inside the box you will find the following items in addition to your UC1 control surface:
12 volts, 5 A Power Supply
and IEC Cable
Fitting The Stands (Optional)
Additional Elevation Angles
If you need a steeper angle of elevation, you can rotate the stands and fix them to the chassis using the shorter side. This gives
you three additional angle options to choose from.
1. Unscrew the rubber feet and move to the other end

2 x Stands
1.5 m C to C USB Cable
1 x Hex Key
4 x Screws
UC1 has been designed to be used with
or without the included screw-in stands,
depending on your preference. Attaching
the included screw-in stands has the added
benefit of angling the unit towards you.
Three different fixing positions (the holes
are arranged in pairs) allow you to choose
an angle that is best for your setup. Use 2
screws per stand. Please be careful not to
over-tighten to avoid stripping the screw
threads. For those with a torque measuring
device, tighten to 0.5 Nm.
2. Rotate the stands so that the short side fixes to the chassis
