1 ­ Introduction
Overview
The US-122 is a USB powered audio/
MIDI interface designed for Digital
Audio Workstation (DAW) software
applications. Its design incorporates a
two-input, two-output 24-bit audio inter-
face with balanced inputs, input inserts,
guitar impedance matching, phantom
powering, and a 16-channel MIDI inter-
face.
Because the US-122 is USB-based, it's
the ideal companion to any desktop- or
laptop-based digital recording setup.
And since it's as compact, like a laptop,
requiring no additional power source, it
can be combined with one to create a
complete portable digital audio worksta-
tion solution.
Features
The input section comprises a 24-bit
audio interface, capable of streaming
two simultaneous channels of audio into
your computer. Inputs include two bal-
anced XLR mic inputs with phantom
power capability, two 1/4" balanced line
inputs (switchable to high-impedance
unbalanced, for direct input of a guitar,
bass or other hi-Z source), with TRS
inserts on each input channel. Outputs
include a pair of unbalanced line outputs
on RCA connectors, and a separate head-
phone output.
The US-122 also features MIDI input
and output ports, allowing you to send
and receive data between your computer
and other MIDI-equipped devices.
What's in the package
The US-122 package contains the fol-
lowing items in addition to the main unit
and this manual. When opening the
package, please make certain that all the
