6U-CONTROL UMA25S User Manual

External power supply:

If you neither want to draw the power supply via USB nor power the device with batteries, there is yet another possibility to connect the UMA25S to an external power supply unit. Please observe the correct operational data (DC 9 V; 200 mA) and correct polarity of the connector. Further information can be found above the DC input on the rear panel of the device. Reverse polarity may cause damage to the electronics.

IMPORTANT Installation information:

◊The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for all connections.

1.2 System requirements

A current Windows PC or Mac computer with one USB port is required for USB operation. Both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 are supported.

◊The UMA25S supports the USB MIDI compatibility of Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X operating systems.

◊The UMA25S can also be operated as a stand-alone MIDI controller with no PC connected. Software control via MIDI is also possible, provided your computer has a MIDI interface.

1.3 Hardware configuration

To connect the UMA25S to your computer, use the provided USB cable. Connect the supplied headset as shown in Fig. 1.3. Optionally, hook up further units to the UMA25S as can be seen from the diagram.

◊Some headsets may cause interferences (humming). Should this be the case, make sure the UMA25S is sufficiently grounded, for example, by connecting a grounded mixer to the LINE OUT connectors.

If necessary, reduce the microphones's input volume level with the LEVEL control (19).

Operating modes

There are different ways of using the UMA25S as a controller: a) Connect the MIDI output of the UMA25S to external MIDI equipment (rack synthesizers, samplers and similar); b) Connect the UMA25S to your computer via USB to control your music software.

The first option does not include the functionality of the UMA25S’ audio interface. The MIDI routing changes depending on the operating mode you are working in.
