Stereo Headphone Jack
The 1/8-inch stereo headphone input accepts
most headphones. Maximum headphone volume
will vary by manufacturer and model, so care
should always be exercised when plugging in.
The headphone volume can be changed using
controls in the computer.
Connecting the UR-1 to Your Computer
The UR-1 will operate with both USB 2.0 (high speed USB) and USB 1.1 data buses. We recom-
mend you connect your microphone directly to the computer’s USB port as opposed to using a USB
hub. USB hubs have been known to interfere with the performance of various USB devices.
Note: Audio and video recording can be very taxing to a computer’s resources. For this reason,
you should close any and all running applications that are non-essential.
Please take the following steps to get connected:
1. If open, close your audio recording application. You will open it after the UR-1 is
connected and operational.
2. Connect the corresponding ends of the supplied USB cable to the UR-1 and the
computer’s USB port.
3. The red LED on the UR-1 will illuminate indicating it is receiving power from
the computer.
