VCAUTION
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.
7Phantom 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).
8Phantom 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).
VCAUTION
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.
9IN1/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.
0IN3/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 specifications.
•Power supply voltage: 5 V
•Power supply current: 700 mA or more
Using a power supply device with specifications other than the above could cause malfunction, overheating, fire 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 insufficient
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 different AC adapter could cause malfunction, overheating, fire 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.

Examples of connections to a US-2x2HR
TASCAM US-2x2HR/US-4x4HR 19
VCAUTION
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
iBefore connecting condenser mics, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby).
iThe 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.
iDo 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.
iSet 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.
iWhen 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.
iSupplying phantom power to some ribbon mics could break them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic.
iIf 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 amplifier 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 right of the knobs do not light.
To listen to the monitoring signal using headphones, connect headphones to a PHONES jack (5) and adjust the PHONES knob (6).
NOTE
If you cannot hear the input sound through the headphones or the LINE OUT (BALANCED) 1-2 jacks, check the settings of the MONITOR BALANCE knob on the front of the unit and the IO Settings item on the Settings Panel screen.

Sound breaks up or there is noise
The processing load on the computer causes sound to break up and noise to occur. Here are some methods to reduce the load on the computer.
1.A wireless LAN and software running in the background, including antivirus software, regularly put processing loads on the computer, which can cause sound to break up and other noise. Stop wireless LAN transmission, antivirus software and other software running in the background when using this unit.
2.Set the buffer size (latency) in the audio application that you are using or in this unit’s Settings Panel to a larger value (Windows only).
NOTE
Consult the maker of the audio application that you are using for methods to reduce its load on your computer.
