Behringer U-CONTROL UCA202 Manuale Utente

10 U-CONTROL UCA202 User Manual

To provide a professional recording interface between mixing 

console and computer, you can use the UCA202 in combination 

with a suitable mixing console that includes subgroup outputs. 

This type of setup allows you to record several signals in the 

computer at the same time, to simultaneously play back several 

takes or playbacks which have been recorded, and to listen 

to the whole recording via loudspeakers (or headphones). 

Figure 4.1 shows a possible setup with one UCA202.

Connect the outputs of the subgroup (in this case ALT 3-4 OUT) 

with the inputs of the UCA202  (6). You can choose to connect 

the outputs  (5)  of the interface either to the TAPE INPUT 

sockets or to your monitor speakers. You can connect control 

headphones to the     socket  (3)  of the UCA202 or to the 

headphones output of your mixing console. Use the USB cable 

supplied with the unit to connect your PC or MAC via the 

USB interface.

By routing each channel that you want to record through the 

ALT3-4 subgroup, you can now use the input channels of the 

mixing console to record different signals (e.g. microphone, 

guitar, sound module, etc.) in the computer. If you connect 

the OUT jacks of the UCA202 to channel inputs 7/8 (not via 

TAPE INPUT), make sure that the signal is not switched to 

the subgroup but instead to the main output of your mixer 

(MUTE key on the UB1204FX-PRO in channel 7/8 not pressed). 

Otherwise feedback can occur. Make sure that you use the 

SOURCE section on the mixing console to select the correct 

monitoring paths (ALT 3-4 and MAIN MIX or ALT 3-4 and TAPE).

If you lead the UCA202 back via a channel input (not TAPE INPUT), 

you can also use the aux path in the channel to set up a monitor 

mix for live musicians. To do this, use the Aux Send (e.g. Aux 1) 

in this channel input. If the musicians want to hear themselves 

as well as the playback or previous recording takes, use the Aux 

Sends in the recording channels to mix in the recording signals 

with the monitor mix.

Although there are various ways to integrate the UCA202 into 

your studio or live set-up, the audio connections to be made 

will basically be the same in all cases:

Please use standard RCA cables to connect the UCA202 to other 

audio equipment. You can also use an adapter cable.
