Connect the Analog Outs to
your audio monitors.

source that you want to record
into the Line Inputs.
Connect any line level input
source for monitoring to the
Stereo Monitor In.
Connect your USB cable from
here to your computer’s USB
port.*
*Note – be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting
and disconnecting the USB cable between TonePort and your computer, as well as before booting
up or shutting down your computer if TonePort is already connected. The best practice is to always
power on your speakers last, and power them off first when connected to other audio gear to avoid
a “pop”.
Line Inputs - To record the signal from a line level source, such as a keyboard, your stereo
receiver, the line out from a mixing console, etc., connect them to these Left and Right ins using
1/4-inch TS audio cables.
Monitor In - If you want to hear the signal from a line level source along with all the other audio
coming from your computer, but do not want this audio recorded, then plug the source in here.
Note that this is a stereo jack, so you should use a stereo 1/4-inch TRS audio cable for this
connection.
USB - This of course is where you connect the supplied USB cable to TonePort, with the other
end going to your computer’s USB port. Note that you should always connect to a separate USB
controller channel from other USB audio or MIDI interfaces to provide TonePort with the full
USB bandwidth. TonePort also gets its power from this USB connection, so it should not be
plugged into a non-powered USB hub, or operated on the same USB controller channel with un-
powered devices. It is also recommended to connect directly into a USB port on your computer
and not into a USB hub.
Analog Outs - These Left and Right unbalanced jacks output all the audio from TonePort; the
audio from your audio software on the computer, and anything plugged into any TonePort input.
These are what you want to connect to your powered speakers or monitoring system for a
recording setup. Use 1/4-inch TS cables to connect directly to powered speakers, mixer or power
amp setup. Note that you can also use the headphone jack on the front of TonePort if you want to
use headphones for monitoring.
