Front panel 2 − Names and Functions of Parts 11POWER switch Use to turn the unit's power ON and OFF. 21PHONES jack and knob Use this standard stereo phone jack to connect stereo headphones. Use a plug adapter when connecting headphones that have mini-plugs. Use the PHONES knob to adjust the headphones output level. CAUTION Turn the PHONES knob to the minimum volume before connecting headphones. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises and damage hearing, for example. 31MONITOR knob Use this to adjust the output level for MONITOR OUTPUT L/R. 41COMPUTER knob For the signal input from the computer connected by USB, use this to adjust the level of output from the MONITOR OUTPUT and PHONES jacks. 51INPUT knob Use this to adjust the overall level of all the signals input through this unit's input jacks (mic, line and digital) that is output from the MONITOR OUTPUT and PHONES jacks. 61OUTPUT meters These show output levels for the unit's 4 outputs. 71POWER indicator This lights when the power is ON. 81INPUT SOURCE meters These show input levels for this unit's 16 inputs. 91USB indicator This lights when the USB connection is in use. 0 Input gain knobs Use these to adjust the input levels of MIC INPUTS 1-8 independently. NOTE Turn all the way to the left to minimize the input level or all the way to the right to maximize the input level. q MONITOR switches Use these switches to set whether or not adjacent inputs 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 are monitored in mono or as stereo pairs with odd-numbered channels (1, 3, 5, 7) on the left and even-numbered channels (2, 4, 6, 8) on the right. w +48V switches Use these switches to set whether or not +48 V phantom power is provided to the mic input jacks in pairs (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8). CAUTION • Before turning these switches ON or OFF, turn the output volume down using the PHONES and MONITOR knobs. Depending on the mic, loud noises might be produced and damage could be caused to equipment and people's hearing. • Do not connect or disconnect a mic with an input when its +48V switch is ON. • Turn a switch ON only when connecting a condenser microphone that requires phantom power. • Do not supply phantom power to an unbalanced dynamic microphone. • Some ribbon mics can be damaged by phantom power. If unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic. e MIC/INST IN These are analog mic/instrument inputs that combine XLR and phone jacks. Use the XLR connectors for balanced mic connections and the phone jacks for electric guitars and basses, for example. The pin assignments of the XLR jacks are 1 = GND, 2 = HOT, and 3 = COLD. 7 TASCAM US-2000
