Tascam US-1800 Manual De Usuario

The Control Panel lets you make various settings for the 

US-1800’s functionality.
On Windows OS, the US-1800 Control Panel shortcut can 

be found in the Windows Start menu > Control Panel or 

the Start menu > All Programs > TASCAM. On Mac OS X, the 
US-1800 Control Panel is located in the Applications folder. 

Other useful audio and MIDI settings for Mac OS X can be 

found in Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup.

The US-1800 driver temporarily stores input and output 

audio sample in buffers. The size of these buffers can 

be adjusted. A smaller buffer size will reduce the delay 

when monitoring the audio signal, but will require 

your computer to perform the processing faster.  If the 

processing does not occur in time (e.g., if other system 

operations are occurring), you may hear clicks, pops, or 

dropouts in the audio signal. A larger buffer size provides 

more safety against such problems caused by other 

system activities, but will produce greater delay when 

monitoring the audio signal. You should select the buffer 

size that works best for your system.
On the Windows version of the US-1800 Control Panel, 

the Audio Performance setting permits you to adjust the 

buffer size that will be used by all audio applications. The 
lowest latency setting is the minimum buffer size, and the 
highest latency setting is the maximum buffer size.

On Mac OS X, the buffer size is determined by each 

audio application. Consequently, there is no “Audio 

Performance” setting on the Mac OS X version of the 

US-1800 Control Panel. Some applications select the 

buffer size automatically while others permit the user 

to select the buffer size. Please consult your audio 

application’s documentation for details.

The clock source can be set to Automatic or Internal. When 

using digital input, set this to Automatic.

Automatic

• 

 (default): If a clock signal is input through 

the 

 jack, it is used. If no signal is input 

through the 

 jack, this unit’s internal clock is 

used.
Internal

• 

: This unit’s internal clock is always used.

Set the digital output format to AES/EBU or S/PDIF.

The 

 jack outputs either digital signals of 

 or 

. You select which pair of signals to 

output using this item.

When using the digital input (

), set Sample 

Clock Source to automatic, and set the connected device 

as the clock master. Devices that cannot function as a 

clock master cannot be used with this unit. When the 

digital input (

) and digital output (

) 

are used at the same time, if the Control Panel Sample 
Clock Source is set to internal, the DIGITAL IN signal cannot 

be received, so the DIGITAL OUT sound is returned to the 

DIGITAL IN as is, resulting in a feedback loop.
