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.
When using an iOS device
When this unit is connected to an iOS device, connecting an external battery,
USB power adapter or other power supply device is necessary in order to
power the unit.
Connect an AC adapter (TASCAM PS-P520E), external battery pack (TASCAM
BP-6AA) or the genuine Apple USB power adapter included with the iPad/
iPhone to a USB cable (sold separately), and connect it to the DC IN 5V port
(w).
ATTENTION
i Provide power through the DC IN 5V connector before connecting an iPad/
iPhone by USB.
i No USB power adapter is included with an iPod touch. To use it with an
iPod touch, purchase a genuine Apple USB power adapter (that can supply
5 V and a current of at least 700 mA) separately.
i Operation with other external battery packs and USB power adapters
is possible, but we strongly recommend using a TASCAM PS-P520E AC
adapter, TASCAM BP-6AA external battery pack or the genuine Apple USB
power adapter included with the iPad/iPhone.
When using another external battery pack or USB power adapter, be sure
that the power supply device meets the following specifications.
i Supplied voltage: 5 V
i Supplied current: 700 mA or more
Using a power supply device when the specifications are other than the
above could cause malfunction, overheating, fire or other problems. If
anything abnormal occurs, stop use and contact the retailer where you
purchased the unit or a TEAC service center to request repair.
Connecting other equipment
This is an example of US-1x2HR connections.
Precautions before making connections
o Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected and
then connect them correctly.
o Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be
connected off (standby).
oInstall all connected devices, including this unit, so that they are powered
from the same line. When using a power strip or similar device, be sure to
use one that has high current capacity (thick cable) in order to minimize
fluctuations in power voltage.
Guitars
Headphones
Mic
Computer Powered speakers
VCAUTION
Lower the LINE OUT and PHONES knobs before changing the phantom
power switch between ON/OFF. Depending on the connected mics,
sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment could occur, and this
could damage the equipment or harm hearing.
ATTENTION
i Before connecting condenser mics, turn this unit and all equipment to be
connected off (standby).
i Do not turn phantom power on when connecting a mic that does not
require phantom power.
i Do not connect or disconnect mics while the phantom power switch is set
to ON. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and
connected equipment.
i Set the phantom power switch to ON only when using a condenser
microphone that requires phantom power. Setting phantom power to
ON when a dynamic mic or other equipment that does not require it is
connected could damage this unit and the connected equipment.
i Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics could break them. If you
are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic.
i If you connect this unit to a laptop computer that is running on battery
power and set the phantom power switch to ON, 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
commercially-available 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.
Making various settings
NOTE
In order to enable the computer to handle digital audio signals smoothly,
other loads on the computer should be minimized as much as possible.
We recommend that you quit unneeded applications before use.
Opening the Settings Panel
Open the Settings Panel in the following manner.
Windows
o From the Start menu select “US_HR SettingsPanel” under “TASCAM”.
Mac

o Using the Finder, open the Applications folder and double-click “US-
HR_SettingsPanel” to open the Settings Panel.
Using the Settings Panel
1 IN 1-2 buttons
Set the monitoring signal from the IN1/IN2/LINE IN L-R jacks (8/9/u) to
“” or “ ”.
2 Monitor Balance slider
When the DIRECT MONITOR switch on the back of the unit is ON, use this
to adjust the monitoring balance between the input signals from the
input jacks and the output signals from the computer.
3 Audio Input ON switches
Turn input on/off for each input separately.
For details about other settings, see “Settings Panel screen” in “5 – Using the
Settings Panel” of the Reference Manual.
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.
Use the GAIN knobs (3) to adjust the analog input levels of the IN1/IN2 jacks
(1) so that the PEAK indicators (2) above and to the right of the GAIN knobs
do not light.
To listen to the monitoring signal using headphones, connect headphones to
a PHONES jack (4) and adjust the PHONES knob (5).
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.
NOTE
i If the input sound cannot be heard output through the PHONES or the
LINE OUT L-R jacks, check the Monitor Balance and IO Settings items on the
Settings Panel screen.
i Confirm that the DIRECT MONITOR switch is set to ON.
