Line Level and XLR Inputs

8 unbalanced line level inputs are available for recording line level sources, such as a keyboard, stereo
receiver, the line out from a mixing console, etc. Connect to line level inputs using 1/4-inch TS audio
cables.
8 XLR preamp inputs are provided for balanced and mic input sources. +48v Phantom Power switches
are located on the front panel for mics requiring phantom power (most condenser type mics do, but
check the documentation for your mic if you are not sure). Connect to these inputs using XLR
cables.
Front Panel Features

Guitar/Bass Inputs

High-Z instrument inputs for guitar and bass are conveniently located on the front panel, providing
convenient access for fast instrument switching.
-20 dB pad switches provide attenuation for hot levels, typically for instruments with onboard preamps
or active pickups.
The TonePort UX8’s instrument inputs work directly with the GearBox standalone application to
provide ToneDirect™ Monitoring, which provides a fully processed signal with ultra-low latency,
critical for tracking with the desired sound.
Note that the processed signal from GearBox will show up in your recording application as additional
sends to analog inputs 1 – 8. You can simultaneously record the direct, unprocessed signal (i.e. Input
1-2) for later processing using the included GearBox Plug-In.
For more information on using the GearBox standalone application, see GearBox (Full Program). For
more information on using the GearBox Plug-In, see GearBox Plug-in.
