4. ઓપરેટિંગ સૂચનાઓ

Once your UR22C is set up, you can begin recording and monitoring your audio.

4.1. Adjusting Input Gain

Use the "INPUT 1 GAIN" and "INPUT 2 GAIN" knobs on the front panel to adjust the input level for your microphones or instruments. The "PEAK" indicators will light up if the input signal is too high, indicating potential clipping. Adjust the gain to ensure the "PEAK" light only flashes occasionally on the loudest parts of your signal.

4.2. Direct Monitoring with DSPMixFX

The UR22C features a DSPMixFX application that allows for zero-latency monitoring with built-in effects. This means you can hear your input signal with effects (like reverb or compression) without any noticeable delay, even when recording. The "MIX" knob on the front panel blends the direct input signal with the playback signal from your computer (DAW).

• Turn the "MIX" knob towards "INPUT" to hear more of your live input signal.
• Turn the "MIX" knob towards "DAW" to hear more of the playback from your computer.
• Use the "PHONES" knob to adjust the headphone output volume.
• Use the "OUTPUT" knob to adjust the main monitor output volume.

4.3. Mono/Stereo Monitoring

The "MONO" switch on the front panel allows you to switch between mono and stereo monitoring. When engaged, both inputs are summed to mono, which can be useful for checking phase compatibility or when recording a single mono source.

5. જાળવણી

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Steinberg UR22C.

• સફાઈ: યુનિટના બાહ્ય ભાગને સાફ કરવા માટે નરમ, સૂકા કપડાનો ઉપયોગ કરો. ઘર્ષક ક્લીનર્સ, સોલવન્ટ્સ અથવા મીણનો ઉપયોગ કરવાનું ટાળો, કારણ કે આ ફિનિશને નુકસાન પહોંચાડી શકે છે.
• સંગ્રહ: When not in use, store the UR22C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• હેન્ડલિંગ: યુનિટને કાળજીપૂર્વક હેન્ડલ કરો. તેને પડતું મૂકવાનું કે તેને જોરદાર ફટકો મારવાનું ટાળો.
• વેન્ટિલેશન: ઓવરહિટીંગ અટકાવવા માટે યુનિટની આસપાસ યોગ્ય વેન્ટિલેશનની ખાતરી કરો. કોઈપણ વેન્ટિલેશન ઓપનિંગ્સને અવરોધિત કરશો નહીં.
• પાવર બંધ: Always disconnect the power source when the unit is not in use for extended periods or during electrical storms.
