Names and functions of parts Front panel US-4x4 front panel 12 3 45 6 US-2x2 front panel 1 2 3 45 6 78 9 0q 1 SIG indicators The SIG indicators light green when signals (of at least −32 dBFS) are input through the IN1/IN2 jacks (and US-4x4 IN3/IN4 jacks). 2 PEAK indicators The PEAK indicators light red when signals that are about to distort (−1 dBFS or higher) are input through the IN1/IN2 jacks (and US-4x4 IN3/IN4 jacks). 3 GAIN knobs Use to adjust the input levels of the IN1/IN2 jacks (and US-4x4 IN3/IN4 jacks). 4 USB indicator This lights when the USB connection is working. 5 LINE OUT knob Use to adjust the output level of the LINE OUT 1-2 jacks. 6 PHONES knob Use to adjust the output level of the PHONES jack ( 1 and 2 jacks on US-4x4). CAUTION Before connecting headphones, minimize the volume with the PHONES knob. Failure to do so might cause sudden loud noises, which could harm your hearing or result in other trouble. 7 Phantom power switch/indicator Use this switch to provide +48V phantom power to the IN1/IN2 jacks (and US-4x4 IN3/IN4 jacks). The indicator lights when the phantom power switch is set to +48V. 8 IN1/IN2 (BALANCED/UNBALANCED) jacks These input jacks are XLR/TRS combo jacks on the US-2x2 and separate XLR and standard TRS jacks on the US-4x4. Use the MIC/LINE INST switches on the front of the unit to enable balanced line (MIC/LINE) input or unbalanced (INST) input for the XLR/TRS combo jacks and standard TRS jacks. 6 TASCAM US-2x2/US-4x4 w 7 80 qw 9 IN3/IN4 (BALANCED) jacks These XLR analog mic input and standard line level TRS jacks are balanced input jacks. CAUTION On the US-4x4, the IN1-IN4 ( 8, 9 ) inputs each have two jacks (XLR and TRS). Do not input signals through both jacks of the same input at the same time. If signals are input through both at the same time, neither signal will be received properly. 0 MIC/LINE INST switches Set according to the IN1/IN2 jack input sources. Set to MIC/LINE when connecting electronic instruments, audio devices, mics and similar equipment. Set to INST when connecting an electric guitar, electric bass or other equipment with high output impedance. q MONITOR BALANCE knob Use this to adjust the balance between the mixed computer output and the mix of signals input through the unit's input jacks. w PHONES jack Use this standard stereo phone jack to connect stereo headphones( 1 and 2 jacks on US-4x4). Each of these jacks outputs the same signal as the LINE OUT 1-2 jacks. Use an adapter to connect headphones with a mini plug.

SIG indicators
The
SIG
indicators light green when signals (of
at least −32 dBFS) are input through the
IN1/IN2
jacks (and US-4x4
IN3/IN4
jacks).
2
PEAK indicators
The
PEAK
indicators light red when signals that
are about to distort (−1 dBFS or higher) are input
through the
IN1/IN2
jacks (and US-4x4
IN3/IN4
jacks).
3
GAIN knobs
Use to adjust the input levels of the
IN1/IN2
jacks
(and US-4x4
IN3/IN4
jacks).
4
USB indicator
This lights when the USB connection is working.
5
LINE OUT knob
Use to adjust the output level of the
LINE OUT
1-2
jacks.
6
PHONES knob
Use to adjust the output level of the
PHONES
jack
(
1 and
2 jacks on US-4x4).
CAUTION

volume with the
PHONES
knob. Failure to do so
might cause sudden loud noises, which could harm
your hearing or result in other trouble.
7
Phantom power switch/indicator
Use this switch to provide +48V phantom power
to the
IN1/IN2
jacks (and US-4x4
IN3/IN4
jacks).
The indicator lights when the phantom power
switch is set to
+48V
.
8
IN1/IN2 (BALANCED/UNBALANCED) jacks
These input jacks are XLR/TRS combo jacks on the
US-2x2 and separate XLR and standard TRS jacks
on the US-4x4.
Use the
MIC/LINE INST
switches on the front
of the unit to enable balanced line (
MIC/LINE
)
input or unbalanced (
INST
) input for the XLR/TRS
combo jacks and standard TRS jacks.
9
IN3/IN4 (BALANCED) jacks
These XLR analog mic input and standard line
level TRS jacks are balanced input jacks.
CAUTION
On the US-4x4, the
IN1
–
IN4
(
8
,
9
) inputs each
have two jacks (XLR and TRS). Do not input signals
through both jacks of the same input at the same
time. If signals are input through both at the same
time, neither signal will be received properly.
0
MIC/LINE INST switches
Set according to the
IN1/IN2
jack input sources.
Set to
MIC/LINE
when connecting electronic
instruments, audio devices, mics and similar
equipment. Set to
INST
when connecting an
electric guitar, electric bass or other equipment
with high output impedance.
q
MONITOR BALANCE knob
Use this to adjust the balance between the mixed
computer output and the mix of signals input
through the unit's input jacks.
w
PHONES jack
Use this standard stereo phone jack to connect
stereo headphones(
1 and
2 jacks on US-4x4).
Each of these jacks outputs the same signal as the
LINE OUT 1–2
jacks. Use an adapter to connect
headphones with a mini plug.
