10 U-CONTROL UCA202 User Manual
To provide a professional recording interface between mixing
console and computer, you can use the UCA202 in combination
with a suitable mixing console that includes subgroup outputs.
This type of setup allows you to record several signals in the
computer at the same time, tosimultaneously play back several
takes or playbacks which have been recorded, and to listen
to the whole recording via loudspeakers (or headphones).
Figure 4.1 shows a possible setup with one UCA202.
Connect the outputs of the subgroup (in this case ALT 3-4 OUT)
with the inputs of the UCA202 (6). You can choose to connect
the outputs (5) of the interface either to the TAPE INPUT
sockets or to your monitor speakers. You can connect control
headphones to the socket (3)of the UCA202 or to the
headphones output of your mixing console. Use the USB cable
supplied with the unit to connect your PCor MAC via the
USB interface.
By routing each channel that you want to record through the
ALT3-4 subgroup, you can now use the input channels of the
mixing console to record dierent signals (e.g. microphone,
guitar, sound module, etc.) in the computer. If you connect
the OUT jacks of the UCA202 to channel inputs 7/8 (notvia
TAPE INPUT), make sure that the signal is not switched to
the subgroup but instead to the main output of your mixer
(MUTE key on the UB1204FX-PRO in channel 7/8 not pressed).
Otherwisefeedback can occur. Make sure that you use the
SOURCE section on the mixing console to select the correct
monitoring paths (ALT 3-4 and MAIN MIX or ALT 3-4 and TAPE).
If you lead the UCA202 back via a channel input (not TAPE INPUT),
youcan also use the aux path in the channel to set up a monitor
mix for live musicians. To do this, use the Aux Send (e.g. Aux 1)
inthis channel input. Ifthe musicians want to hear themselves
as well as the playback or previous recording takes, use the Aux
Sends in the recording channels to mix in the recording signals
with the monitormix.
5. Audio Connections
Although there are various ways to integrate the UCA202 into
your studio or live set-up, the audio connections to be made
will basically be the same in all cases:
5.1 Wiring
Please use standard RCA cables to connect the UCA202 to other
audio equipment. You can also use an adapter cable.
