USB connections
5 – Connections
Using the included cable, connect the 
US-144 to your computer as shown in the 
illustration.
NOTE
Some USB devices access the USB bus 
frequently. To avoid dropouts and clicks 
in the audio signal, we strongly recom-
mend that you do not connect other 
USB devices to the USB bus used by the 
US-144. 
USB keyboards and mice are exceptions 
to this, and will probably not cause 
problems.

Audio connections
Connect the output signal of your mic, gui-
tar, keyboard, or other audio device to the 
US-144, where it will be converted into 
digital audio and sent via USB to your 
computer. Connect the output of the 
US-144 to your speakers (via an amp) or 
headphones, so you will be able to monitor 
the audio signals coming into the US-144 
or being produced by your computer.
NOTE
The US-144 has two input channels (L
R), with a MIC IN jack (XLR) and LINE IN 
jack (1/4” phone jack) provided for each 
channel. Do not connect signals to both 
of these analog input jacks at the same 
time. If both are connected, the signal 
will not be correctly input to the 
US-144.
