Line Inputs - If you want to record the signal from a line level source, such as a keyboard, your stereo
receiver, the line out from a mixing console, etc., connect to these Left and Right ins using 1/4-inch
TS audio cables.
USB - This of course is where you connect the supplied USB cable to UX2, with the other end going
to your computer’s USB 1.1 or 2.0 port.
S/PDIF Digital Out - To send the output of UX2 to an external device digitally, connect a 75-Ohm
coaxial cable into this RCA jack and then into the S/PDIF digital input on the external device. This
is the best choice for connecting to digital recording devices, such as a DAT recorder, MiniDisc, etc.
This S/PDIF output sends the same audio as is sent to the Analog Outs (with the exception that any
audio coming into the Monitor In jack is not routed to the S/PDIF output). The digital signal is always
sent at 24-bit resolution.
Monitor In - If you want to hear the signal from a line level source mixed with all the other audio
coming from your computer, but do not want this audio recorded, 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.
Analog Outs - These Left and Right unbalanced jacks output all the audio from UX2; the audio from
your DAW, 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 UX2 if you want to use headphones for monitoring.
