V
CAUTION
Before connecting headphones, minimize the volume with the PHONES knob.
Failure to do so could result in a sudden loud noise that could harm hearing, for
example.
7 Phantom power indicator
The indicator lights when the phantom power switch is set to +48V.
ATTENTION
When operating the US-4x4HR with USB bus power, use a commercially-available
Type-C–Type-C cable to connect it to a USB Type-C port on the computer. If there
is a problem with the power supply, the phantom power indicator will blink. In this
case, use the included AC adapter (PS-P1220E, DC12 V).
8 Phantom power switch
Use this switch to provide +48 V phantom power to the IN1 and IN2 XLR jacks
(and IN3/IN4 on the US-4x4HR).
V
CAUTION
Set the LINE OUT and PHONES knobs to their minimum values before changing the
phantom power setting. Depending on the connected mics, sudden loud noises
from monitoring equipment could occur, and this could damage the equipment or
harm hearing.
9 IN1/IN2 jacks
On the US-2x2HR, these are XLR/TRS combo jacks for analog input.
On the US-4x4HR, these are separate XLR and standard TRS jacks for analog input.
These support high impedance input, including direct guitar input.
Use the MIC/LINE INST switches (q) to select balanced line (MIC/LINE) or
unbalanced (INST) input for the TRS jacks.
When directly connecting a guitar, bass or other instrument, set the MIC/LINE
INST switch (q) to INST.
0 IN3/IN4 jacks (US-4x4HR only)
These XLR analog mic input and standard line level TRS jacks are balanced input
jacks.
ATTENTION
On the US-4x4HR, IN1/IN2 (9) and IN3/IN4 (0) 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.

Connecting the power
When using a computer (Windows/Mac)
When this unit is connected to a computer using an included USB cable, it will
operate using USB bus power, so connecting a separate power supply device is not
necessary.
ATTENTION
When operating the US-4x4HR with USB bus power, use a commercially-available
Type-C–Type-C cable to connect it to a USB Type-C port on the computer. If there
is a problem with the power supply, the phantom power indicator will blink. In this
case, use the included AC adapter (PS-P1220E, DC12 V).
NOTE
Depending on the computer, the USB port might not be able to supply enough
power to operate the unit. In this case, connect and use a dedicated AC adapter.
When using an iOS device
When this unit is connected to an iOS device, connecting a dedicated AC adapter
is necessary to supply power to the unit. Connect the dedicated AC adapter before
connecting the USB cable.
Using with an AC adapter
US-2x2HR
Connect an AC adapter (PS-P520E, DC5V, sold separately) to the DC IN 5V connector.
See “Using with an AC adapter” in “4 – Preparation” of the Reference Manual for
instructions about connecting the adapter.
ATTENTION
We highly recommend using a dedicated AC adapter (PS-P520E, DC5 V, sold
separately) with the US-2x2HR. When using another external power supply device,
use one with the following specications.
• Power supply voltage: 5 V
• Power supply current: 700 mA or more
Using a power supply device with specications other than the above could cause
malfunction, overheating, re or other problems.
If trouble should occur, stop using the unit and contact the retailer where you
purchased it or a TEAC service center to request repair.

o When the USB bus power supply current is insucient
o When connected to an iOS device or other equipment that cannot power this unit
See “Using with an AC adapter” in “4 – Preparation” of the Reference Manual for
instructions about connecting the adapter.
ATTENTION
Always use the dedicated AC adapter (PS-P1220E, DC12 V) that was shipped with
the unit. Using a dierent AC adapter could cause malfunction, overheating, re or
other problems.
NOTE
The included dedicated AC adapter (PS-P1220E, DC12 V) is shipped with 2 types of
outlet plugs. Attach the type of plug that matches the power outlet that you are
using. Please see “Changing the outlet plug” in “4 – Preparation” of the Reference
Manual for instructions.

Connecting other equipment
This is an example of US-2x2HR connections.
Precautions before making connections
o Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected and then
connect them correctly.
o Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected o
(standby).
o Install all connected devices, including this unit, so that they are powered from
the same line. When using a power strip or similar device, be sure to use one that
has high current capacity (thick cable) in order to minimize uctuations in power
voltage.

CAUTION
Lower the LINE OUT and PHONES knobs before changing the phantom power
switch between +48V and OFF. Depending on the connected mics, sudden loud
noises from monitoring equipment could occur, and this could damage the
equipment or harm hearing.
ATTENTION
i Before connecting condenser mics, turn this unit and all equipment to be
connected o (standby).
i The phantom power switch changes the setting for all input channels
simultaneously (2 inputs on US-2x2HR and 4 inputs on US-4x4HR). Do not set the
phantom power switch to +48V when connecting a mic that does not require
phantom power.
i Do not connect or disconnect mics while the phantom power switch is set to +48V.
Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and connected
equipment.
i Set the phantom power switch to +48V only when using a condenser microphone
that requires phantom power. Setting phantom power to +48V when a dynamic
mic or other equipment that does not require it is connected could damage this
unit and the connected equipment.
i When using condenser mics that require phantom power and dynamic mics
together, be sure to use balanced dynamic mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot
be used when phantom power is enabled.
i Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics could break them. If you are
unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic.
i If you connect this unit to a laptop computer that is running on battery power
and set the phantom power switch to +48V, the computer battery charge will be
consumed more quickly.
Connecting with iOS devices
To connect with an iOS device that has a Lightning connector use a Lightning to USB
Camera Adapter* and the USB cable included with this product.
To connect with an iOS device that has a USB Type-C connector, use a commerciallyavailable Type-C–Type-C cable.
* You must obtain a genuine Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter separately.
NOTE
When connected, this unit will not provide power to the iOS device.

Adjusting the input sound
Analog audio signals input into this device from mics, guitars, keyboards and other
audio equipment can be converted into digital signals and transmitted to the
computer via USB.
You can use the features of this unit to adjust the digital signals that are sent to the
computer. In addition, by connecting speakers (through an amplier if not powered)
or headphones to this unit, you can monitor audio signals that are input to this unit
and output from the computer.
Use the various controls on the front of the unit as necessary while listening to the
input sound.
Example using a US-4x4HR
Use the GAIN knobs (4) to adjust the analog input levels of the IN1/IN2 jacks (1) and
IN3/IN4 jacks (2, US-4x4HR only) so that the PEAK indicators (3) above and to the
