UA-5 Monitor SW Button Question?
« on: July 15, 2003, 04:42:25 PM »
 ??? Does the UA-5 Monitor SW Button have to be turned ON, in order to  give someone an Analog Patch thru the RCA Outs?  

I wasnt sure, and someone who I had given a patch to, said they werent recieving a strong signal.  I only recently thought that may have been the cause, but i dont remember if it was on/off at the time.  

If so, does the Volume knob directly to the Left of the Monitor SW Button control the Output Level of the RCA Analog Outs?

From reading the Manual, this appears to be the case, but i wasnt sure if the Modded Units still follow these descriptions in the Manual.
Any Advice is Appreciated!!!! :bigsmile:  

Thanks,
Rhys

I belive that the Gain knob you speek of works for both RCA's in and out's. But if they were not getting a strong signal, they need to turn up there gain. If running to DAT you are obviously using the 1/8" line in, in which he/she would HAVE to turn the gain up on the DAT. MD same thing, but I know once you start recording w/ a MD, you cannot change your record levels, this must be done before recording. I could be wrong on this.

I know when I run a 3rd mic into the RCA IN on my UA5, I turn the gain knob up all the way and it gives me between 12 and 6 db's, just with the 3rd mic. Then I plug in the XLR and adjust from there.


Hope this helps, but unless you really care about the "PATCHER'S" levels, I would not worry about it, just my opinion on that one.......

Rhys - the knob on the front controls the level of the RCA out. Turned all the way to the right is essentially the same level of signal going to your laptop.

To control gain on the RCA *in* there is a little knob on the back of the unit.

Also, the only thing that the modded units do is just allow the ua5 to run without a computer and allows for both digi outs to work at the same time. The mods don't affect the function of any of the controls.

The digi mod does disable playback through the USB though.

I thought i remember Doug Oade saying that the Hi/Lo Impetence Button is non-functional once its been modded.  Thats why i wondered about any other of the functions on the UA-5.

Umm... hook the unit up, power it on, go into your app, and open up the application preferences. There should be an option for input/output devices.

FYI - ASIO devices only show up under Playback devices so don't be suprised when/if the input device box greys out.
Your other choice for the driver will be the MME or WDM, depending on which one you chose to install with the ASIO driver.

After that, it should be just a matter of finding the record button & making sure your sample rate matches the UA-5. Bitrate can be selected on the fly, sample rate changes will require closing your recording app & doing a power cycle on the UA5.

Yes. Keep in mind that the D > D in the UA-5 is not bit perfect. Plenty of discussion on that subject lately...
