8 TASCAM US-2000Rear panelr1MIC INPUTSThese are balanced XLR-type analog mic input jacks forconnecting microphones.The pin assignments of the XLR jacks are 1 = GND, 2 =HOT, and 3 = COLD.t MONO/ST switchesUse these switches to set whether or not adjacent lineinputs 9-10, 11-12, 13-14 are monitored in mono or asstereo pairs with odd-numbered channels (9, 11, 13) onthe left and even-numbered channels (10, 12, 14) on theright.y1LINE IN jacksUse these balanced TRS phone jacks for line inputsources, including keyboards and sound modules.The pin assignments are tip = HOT, and ring = COLD,and sleeve = GND.u1INSERTS jacksThese are analog insert jacks (unbalanced) for the MIC/INST IN inputs on the front panel (7-8).Use these to connect compressors, gates and otherexternal effects.The pin assignments are tip = SEND, ring = RECEIVE,and sleeve = GND.i1Level selection switchesUse these to set the nominal input level of the line inputjacks to -10 dBV or +4 dBu.o1LINE OUTPUTSThese TRS phone jacks are balanced analog lineoutputs. Signals output from a computer connected byUSB are output from these jacks. Set which signals areoutput using an audio application, for example, on thecomputer. These jacks can be connected to an externalmixer or recorder, for example.The pin assignments are tip = HOT, and ring = COLD,and sleeve = GND.p1MONITOR OUTPUT jacksThese TRS phone jacks are balanced analog monitoringoutputs. Connect them to monitor speakers or otherequipment.The pin assignments are tip = HOT, ring = COLD, andsleeve = GND.a1USB portUse the included USB cable to connect this unit to acomputer (USB 2.0 compatible).s1DIGITAL OUT jackThis coaxial digital output jack conforms to IEC60958-3(S/PDIF) or AES3-2003 (AES/EBU) specifications.This jack outputs the same digital signal that is outputfrom the LINE OUTPUTS 1/2 or LINE OUTPUTS 3/4 (setby the control panel). The digital signal format is set onthe control panel.d1DIGITAL IN jackThis coaxial digital input jack conforms to IEC60958-3(S/PDIF) specifications.NOTEThis unit is capable of input and output through itsDIGITAL IN and OUT jacks at 24-bit/96 kHz.f1~IN connectorConnect the included power cord here.2 − Names and Functions of Parts
