Connecting the power

US-4x4

Use the included 12V AC adapter (GPE248-120200-Z)

to connect a power supply to the unit as shown

below.

The AC adapter for the US-4x4 includes two 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 the Reference Manual for instruc-

tions about how to do this.

Power outlet

GPE248-120200-Z (included)

DC plug

Changing the outlet plug (US-4x4 only)

1 Move the latch on the AC adapter in the direction

of the arrow.

2 Pull off the outlet plug.

3 Replace it with the other outlet plug (A or B).

4 Move the latch on the AC adapter in the direction

of the arrow again.

5 Attach the outlet plug to the AC adapter.

This completes changing the outlet plug.

After changing the outlet plug, confirm that

is not loose or crooked and that everything is

normal before plugging it into an outlet

CAUTION

Do not use the adapter if there is anything

abnormal about the plu

g after changing it. Use

when the plug is abnormal could cause fire or

electric shock. Contact the retailer where you

purchased the unit or a TEAC service center (see

page 2) to request repair.

US-2x2

Normally, when a US-2x2 is connected to a computer,

it will operate using USB bus power, so a separate

power supply is not necessary. However, when

using the unit connected to an iOS device or when

not using USB bus power, a separate AC adapter

designed for use with this unit (TASCAM PS-P520,

DC5V) is necessary. In this case, connect the power

source to the unit as shown below.

CAUTION

•

Before making connections, turn this unit and all

equipment to be connected off (standby).

•

The phantom power affects both US-2x2 input

channels (all four US-4x4 input channels) simul-

taneously. Do not turn phantom power on when

connecting a mic that does not require phantom

power.

•

Set the phantom power switch to +48V only

when using a condenser microphone that

TASCAM US-2x2/US-4x4

requires phantom power.

Turning phantom power +48V when a dynamic

mic or other mic that does not require it

is connected could damage this unit and

connected equipment.

•

Do not connect or disconnect mics while

phantom power is on. Doing so could cause

a loud noise and might damage this unit and

connected equipment.

•

Set the LINE OUT and PHONES knobs to their

minimum values before turning phantom

power on/off. Depending on the connected

mics, sudden loud noises from monitoring

equipment could occur, and this could damage

the equipment or harm hearing.

•

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.

•

Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics

will break them. If you are unsure, do not supply

phantom power to a ribbon mic.

Connecting with iOS devices

US-2x2: You will need a Lightning to USB Camera

Adapter

and an AC adapter (sold separately).

US-4x4: You will need a Lightning to USB Camera

Adapter.

You must obtain a genuine Apple Lightning to USB

Camera Adapter separately.

DC5V TASCAM PS-P520 AC adapter (sold separately)

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-4x4

512

346

Use the GAIN knobs (4) to adjust the analog input

levels of the IN1/IN2 jacks (1) or IN3/IN4 jacks (2,

US-4x4 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 the headphones to the PHONES jack (5)

and adjust the PHONES knob (6).

NOTE

If you cannot hear the input sound through the

headphones or the LINE OUT (BAL

ANCED)

jacks, check the settings of the MONITOR

BALANCE knob on the front of the unit and the

Line Outputs item on the Settings Panel screen.

Troubleshooting

Please read this chapter if you are unable to use the

unit properly even after setting it up following the

procedures in this manual.

If you are still unable to resolve your problems please

contact the store where you bought the unit or TEAC

customer support with the following information

about the operating environment and details about

the trouble.

Operating environment

• Computer manufacturer

• Model

• CPU

• Memory (RAM)

• Operating system

• Applications used

• Antivirus software

• Wireless LAN use

See page 2 of this document for contact information.

I cannot install the dedicated software.

1. Check the operating system

The operating system being used might not

be compatible with the software that you are

trying to install. Check the compatible operating

system of the software you are trying to install

again.

2. Stop software running in the background

Antivirus software and other software that runs

in the background can prevent installation. Quit

software that runs in the background and try

installation again.

The unit is connected, but the computer

does not recognize it.

1. Install the dedicated software

Install the dedicated software. “Installing the

dedicated software” on page 7.

TASCAM US-2x2/US-4x4

2. Change the USB port

• This unit cannot be used with USB 1.1. Use a USB

2.0 or USB 3.0 port.

• Do not use a USB hub with this unit. Always

connect the unit directly to a USB port on the

computer.

• If the above methods do not resolve the

problem, connect the unit to a different USB

port on the computer.

I cannot hear any sound even when audio

is played back on the computer.

Confirm that the MONITOR BALANCE knob on

the unit is not turned all the way to the left (toward

INPUT). If that is the case, turn the MONITOR

BALANCE knob to the right of center.

In addition, check the status of the unit's connection

with the computer.

Moreover, if you make the following settings, sound

will be output through this unit, but no sound will

be output by the computer’s speakers or headphone

jack.

Windows

See the “Windows Media Player” section of “7 – Appli-

cation guide” in the Reference Manual, and make

settings as necessary for the OS.

Mac

1. Quit all applications and open “System Prefer-

ences…” from the Apple menu.

2. Open “Sound”.

3. On the Output tab, select “US-2x2” or “US-4x4”.

After completing the setting, restart the

computer and check the sound of playback.

Depending on the application that you are

using, you might need to make additional device

settings.

In particular, DAW software operates using audio

engines with settings that are different from the

OS settings, so confirm the DAW driver settings

first after installing the software for this unit.

Please see the manuals for the applications that

you are using for detailed setting procedures.

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 appli-

cation 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

ou are using for methods to reduce its load on

your computer.

3. Change the settings of your computer so that

they are optimal for audio processing.

Using Windows

1. Open the Control Panel using the proce-

dures for the OS (Windows 10/Windows 8.1/

Windows 7).

• In Windows 10, click Control Panel from

the Windows Start button to open the

Control Panel. Then, click the System icon.

• In Windows 8.1, right-click the ordinary

Start screen (Metro user interface screen)

and then click “All apps”. Then, right-click

“Computer” and select “Properties”.

• In Windows 7, right-click “Computer” from

the Windows Start button, and select

“Properties”.

2. Click “Advanced system settings”.

3. Click “Settings” in the “Performance” section

of the “Advanced” tab of the “System

Properties” window.

4. In the “Visual Effects” tab of the “Performance

Options” window, select “Adjust for best
