Connecting Microphones; Connecting A Guitar - Tascam iU2 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
Some USB devices use the USB bus frequently. In order to
prevent audio signal dropouts, clicking noises and other
interference, we strongly recommend that you do not connect
any USB devices other than keyboards and mice to the
computer that you are using with this unit.

Connecting microphones

Connect a microphone to the line/mic INPUT L jack or line/mic
INPUT R jack on the front panel.
To activate mic input set the corresponding INPUT L or INPUT
R switch on the bottom panel to MIC.
Turn the PHANTOM switch ON when connecting a mic that
requires phantom power.
The connectors on this unit are standard TRS input jacks,
but by using the TRS–XLR adapter cables included with this
product, you can also connect mics with XLR connectors.

CAUTION
• When the PHANTOM switch is set to ON, phantom power
will be sent to the left input and/or right input if the
corresponding INPUT L/INPUT R switch is set to MIC. When
connecting a device that does not require phantom power,
set the corresponding switch to a position other than MIC.
Supplied phantom power could damage a device that is not
compatible with it.
• Do not connect or disconnect a mic while the
switch is set to ON. Depending on the mic, loud noise could
result that might damage other equipment or harm your
hearing.
• Since phantom power is supplied through the USB bus,
when using the unit with a connected iOS device, you must
connect the Mini USB port to a USB recharger in order to
supply phantom power to equipment connected to the
unit.

Connecting a guitar

Connect a guitar or bass to the
front panel, and set the INPUT L switch on the bottom panel
to GUITAR.
