4 [PEAK] indicator
Lights up according to the input signal. Lights up when the input signal is 3 dB below the clipping level.
Setting optimum recording levels
Adjust the gain knobs so that the [PEAK] indicator flashes briefly at the loudest input volume.
5 [+48V] indicator
Lights up when the [+48V] switch (phantom power) is turned on.
6 [TRANSFORMER] switch
Switches the transformer circuit of the [MIC/HI-Z 1/2] jack and [MIC/LINE 3/4] jack on and off.
Use of the [TRANSFORMER] switch
ON (lit)
Passing the input signal through the transformer circuit results in sound with natural compression and saturation.
OFF (unlit)
This setting results in a well-balanced sound that is faithful to the original, which is the feature of D-PRE.
Proper use of the HI-Z or LINE inputs
HI-Z
Guitar and bass with passive pickups (not battery powered)
LINE
•Effect device, preamp, direct box
•Guitar and bass with active pickups (battery powered)
•Digital instruments, such as synthesizer

1 [USB] indicator
Lights up when the power is turned on and the unit is communicating with the computer or iOS device.
The indicator flashes continuously when the computer or iOS device does not recognize the device.
2 [HI-Z] switch
Switches the input impedance (on O/off N).
Turn this switch on when connecting high impedance instruments, such as an electric guitar or electric bass, directly to the [MIC/LINE 1] jack. When you turn this switch on, use an unbalanced phone plug for connection between the instruments and the [MIC/LINE 1] jack. If you use a balanced phone plug, this device will not work correctly.
CAUTION
To protect your speaker system, leave the monitor speakers turned off when turning the [HI-Z] switch on/off. It’s also a good idea to turn all output level controls down to their minimum. Neglect of these precautions may result in loud noise bursts that may damage your equipment, your ears, or both.
NOTICE
Do not connect or disconnect any cables while turning on the [HI-Z] switch. Doing so can damage the connected device and/or the unit itself.

UR-RT4 / UR-RT2 Operation Manual 10
This software is for operating the convenient built-in DSP mixer and DSP effects. The DSP mixer allows you to mix up to six input channels {four input channels} down to one stereo output. A number of DSP effects for processing the input signals are also provided, and since the processing/ mixing is hardware-based, there is no monitoring latency.
NOTE
You cannot operate dspMixFx UR-RT while a Cubase series DAW is running. When Cubase is running, configure the DSP mixer and DSP effect from “Dedicated Windows for Cubase Series” (page 16).

What is Loopback?
Loopback is a convenient function for broadcasting over the Internet. It mixes the input audio signals (such as microphone and guitar) with the audio signals playing back in the software in the computer into two channels in the UR-RT, and sends them back to the computer. Refer to the section “Signal Flow” (page 37).
If the Loopback function is on while you are monitoring input signals from the UR-RT via DAW software, it will cause loud noise. This is because an infinite loop of the audio signal is generated between the UR-RT and the DAW software. When using the loopback function, turn off the monitor functions on your DAW software.
