1 [SENS 1L] knob, [SENS 2R] knob
Adjust the volume of the audio signal that is input via the INPUT (1L, 2R) jacks.
2 Level indicator
The indicator is lit green if an audio signal greater than -24 dB (*) is being input to the INPUT (1L, 2R) jacks. If the input level is -3 dB (*) or higher, the indicator is lit red. If the indicator is lit red, use the [SENS 1L] knob and [SENS 2R] knob to adjust the input level.
* The level relative to the maximum allowable input (0 dB)
3 INPUT (1L, 2R) connectors (combo jacks)
These are analog audio input jacks with microphone preamps. They accommodate both XLR connectors and 1/4-inch phone type jacks, and support both balanced and unbalanced connections.

1 5V DC connector
Connect this to a commercially available USB AC adaptor.
About the USB AC adaptor
Read the section on “Using the Unit Safely” in the manual included with your USB AC adaptor. Use a USB AC adaptor that meets the following specifications.
55 USB micro-B type
55 Output voltage: 4.8–5.2 V
55 Output current: 500 mA (0.5A) or higher
We have verified that the Rubix operates with typical USB AC adaptors that meet the above conditions, but cannot guarantee that it will work with all adaptors that meet these conditions.
Be aware that even under identical conditions, differences in the design specifications of a USB AC adaptor and differences in the conditions of use might make the Rubix operate or perform differently.

2 Ground terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal with an external ground. When
the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
