POD Farm 1.01 – Using Your Line 6 Hardware
2•4
Monitor In - If you want to hear the signal from a line level source along with all the other audio
coming from your computer, but do not want this audio recorded via the UX1 Record Sends, then plug
the source in here. Note that this is a stereo jack, so you should use a stereo, 1/4-inch TRS audio cable
for this connection.
USB - This of course is where you connect the supplied USB cable to UX1, with the other end going
to your computer’s USB 1.1 or 2.0 port.
Analog Outs - These Left and Right unbalanced jacks output all the audio from UX1; the audio from
your audio software on the computer, and anything plugged into any input. These are what you want to
connect to your powered speakers or monitoring system for a recording setup. Use 1/4-inch TS cables
to connect directly to powered speakers, mixer or power amp setup. Note that you can also use the
headphone jack on the front of UX1 if you want to use headphones for monitoring.
UX2 (POD Studio & TonePort)
Connect up to two
Microphones
Connect your electric Guitar or Bass
Connect your stereo
Headphones
Microphone Inputs - You can receive input from one or two mics at the same time using these ins.
There is also a +48V Phantom Power switch that you should set to “on” if your mic requires phantom
power (most condenser type mics do, but check the documentation for your mic if you are not sure).
Connect each mic using an XLR cable. When in POD Farm Standalone operation, this inputs each
microphone signal independently into POD Farm where you can choose your Tone, and then route the
processed signal to the Record Sends (to your audio software) and to the UX2 Analog Outs.
Instrument Inputs -To input your electric guitar or bass, plug it into one of these inputs. When in
POD Farm Standalone operation, either of these routes the instrument’s signal into POD Farm where
you can choose your tone, and then route the processed signal to the Record Sends (and to your audio
software) and to the UX2 Analog Outs. The difference between these two input jacks is:
Norm• – This input is for a standard instrument level output. Plug your guitar/bass into here using
a standard 1/4-inch TS instrument cable.
Pad • - This input is designed for high output level basses and guitars, especially those with active
pickups. Plug your high output instrument into here using a standard 1/4-inch TS instrument
cable.
Headphone - If you want to listen to the audio from UX2 using stereo headphones, then plug them
into this 1/4-inch stereo jack. This Headphone jack outputs the same signal fed to the Analog Outs on
the rear panel; the audio from your audio software, as well as anything plugged into any UX2 input.
