Thank you

Thank you for choosing the UCA222 U-CONTROL audio

interface. The UCA222 is a high-performance interface that

includes a USB connector, making it an ideal sound card for

your laptop computer or an essential recording/playback

component for studio environments that involve desktop

computers. TheUCA222 is PC and Mac-compatible, thereforeno

separate installation procedure is required. Thanks to its robust

construction and compact dimensions, theUCA222 is also

ideal for traveling. The separate headphones output allows

you to play back your recordings at any time, even if you don’t

happen to have any loudspeakers available. Two inputs and

outputs as well as the S/PDIF output give you total connecting

exibility to mixing consoles, loudspeakers or headphones.

Power is supplied to the unit via the USB interface and the LED

gives you a quick check that the UCA222 is properly connected.

TheUCA222 is the ideal extra for every computer musician.

software. Thiswill help make the transfer process quick

and simple. Simply insert the CD into your CD-ROM

drive and install the software. The CD also contains VST

plug-ins, ASIO drivers and various freeware.

automatically.

2) Connect the audio source that is to be recorded, such as a

mixer, preamp, etc.to the INPUT stereo RCAjacks.

3) Plug a pair of headphones into the ⁄" PHONES jack and

adjust the volume with the adjacent control. Youmay

also monitor the output by plugging a pairof powered

speakers into the OUTPUT stereo RCA jacks.

6. Application Diagrams

Using a mixer to record in a

studioenvironment:

The most common application for the UCA222 is doing studio

recording with a mixer. This will allow you to record several

sources at once, listen to the playback, and record more tracks

in sync with the original take(s).

• Connect the mixer’s TAPE OUT to the INPUT RCA jacks on

the UCA222. Thiswill allow you to capture the overall mix.

• Plug the USB cable into a free USB port on your computer.

The POWER LED will light up.

• Connect a pair of powered monitor speakers to the

UCA222 OUTPUT RCA jacks. Depending on what type of

inputs your speakers accept, you may need an adapter.

• You may also monitor the input signal with a pair of

headphones instead of or in addition to the monitor

speakers. Turn the OFF/ON MONITOR switch to the ‘ON’

position. Plug a pair of headphones into the PHONES jack

and adjust the volume with the adjacent control. This will

be preferable if the mixer and computer are in the same

room as the instruments being recorded.

• Take some time to adjust each channel level and EQ to

ensure a good balance between the instruments/sources.

Once the mix has been recorded you will be unable to

make adjustments to just one channel.

• Set the recording program to record input from the UCA222.

• Press record and let the music rip!

V-AMP 3

Recording with a preamp such as the

V-AMP 3:

Preamps such as the V-AMP 3 provide a great way to record a

wide selection of high-quality guitar sounds without the hassle

of placing a mic in front of a conventional amp. They also allow

you to record late at night without tempting your roommates

or neighbors to strangle you with your own guitar cable.

• Plug a guitar into the instrument input of the V-AMP 3

using a standard ¼"instrument cable.

• Connect the stereo ¼" outputs on the V-AMP 3 to the

stereo RCA inputs on the UCA222. This will likely require

adaptors. You may also use the stereo RCA to ¼" TRS cable

that is included in the V-AMP 3/UCA222 package bundle

to connect from the V-AMP 3 headphone output to the

UCA222 RCA inputs.

• Plug the USB cable into a free USB port on your computer.

The POWER LED will light up.

• Adjust the output signal level on the V-AMP 3.

• Set the recording program to record input from the UCA222.

• Press record and wail!
