POD Farm 2 Advanced User Guide – Using Your Line 6 Hardware
2•5
Monitor In - If you want to hear the signal from a line level source mixed with all the other audio
coming from your computer, but do not want this audio recorded, then plug the source in here (this
Monitor signal is not fed to the Record Sends). This input is perfect to connect your mp3 player or
stereo receiver if you want to jam along with your favorite tunes! Note that this is a stereo jack, so you
should use a stereo, 1/4 inch TRS audio cable (or cable adapter) for this connection.
USB - This is where you connect the supplied USB cable to UX1, with the other end going directly
to your computer’s USB port.
Analog Outs - These Left and Right unbalanced jacks output all the audio from UX1 - The audio from
your audio software on the computer, and anything plugged into any input. These are what you want
to connect to your powered speakers or monitoring system for a recording setup. Use 1/4-inch 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 UX1 if you want to use headphones for monitoring.
UX2
Connect up to two
Microphones
Connect your electric Guitar or Bass
Connect your stereo
Headphones
Microphone Inputs - You can receive input from one or two mics at the same time using these ins.
There is also a +48V Phantom Power switch that you should set to “on” if your mic requires phantom
power (most condenser type mics do, but check the documentation for your mic if you are not sure).
Connect each mic using an XLR cable. When using POD Farm 2 in standalone operation, this inputs
each microphone signal independently into POD Farm 2 where you can choose your Tone, and then
route the processed signal to the Record Sends (to your audio software) and to the UX2 Analog Outs.
Instrument Input -To input your electric guitar or bass, plug it into one of these inputs. When using
POD Farm 2 in standalone operation, either of these routes the instrument’s signal into POD Farm
2 where you can choose your Tone, and then route the processed signal to the Record Sends (and to
your audio software) and to the UX2 Analog Outs. The difference between these two input jacks is:
• Norm – This input is for a standard instrument level output. Plug your guitar/bass into here using
a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
• Pad - This input is designed for high output level basses and guitars, especially those with active
pickups. Plug your high output instrument into here using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
Headphone - If you want to listen to the audio from UX2 using stereo headphones, then plug them
into this 1/4-inch stereo jack. This Headphone jack outputs the same signal fed to the Analog Outs
on the rear panel; the audio from your audio software, as well as anything plugged into any UX2 input.
