Panel Controls and Terminals Panel Controls and Terminals Front Panel 5 6 5 7 9 ) @ $ 2 1 3 4 8 ! # 1 [MIC/LINE 1] jack 7 [USB] indicator For connection to a microphone or digital instrument. This jack can be connected to both XLR-type and phone-type (balanced/unbalanced) plugs. Lights up when the power is turned on and the unit is communicating with the computer or iOS device. The indicator flashes continuously when the computer or iOS device does not recognize the device.
Panel Controls and Terminals ) [MIX] knob Adjusts the signal level balance between the input signal to the [MIC/LINE 1/2] jacks and the signal from an application, such as DAW software. Operation of this control knob does not affect the signal sent to a computer. Using the Mix knob Turn the [MIX] knob to the [DAW] side if the input volume is high and to the [INPUT] side if the input volume is low. When the knob is turned fully to the [DAW] side, only the input sound from DAW can be heard.
Panel Controls and Terminals Rear Panel 2 1 3 4 5 6 7 1 [POWER SOURCE] switch 4 [+48V] switch For selecting the port for supplying power to the UR22C. To supply bus power via the [USB 3.0] port, set this switch to the [USB 3.0] side. To supply power via the [5V DC] port, set this switch to the [5V DC] side. Turns the phantom power on/off. When you turn this switch on, phantom power will be supplied to the XLR jack connected to the [MIC/LINE 1/2] jacks.

Software Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip Common to Compressor and Equalizer The Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip (“Channel Strip” for short) is a multi-effect that combines compression and EQ. Advanced sound engineering know-how is condensed into a number of convenient presets that can be simply and instantly recalled, for professional results. Two channel strips are provided, and each can be assigned to the monitor sound only, or to both the monitor and recorded sound.
Software 3 RATIO Equalizer Adjusts the release time of the compressor. Range: 1.00 − ∞ 4 KNEE Selects the knee type of the compressor. Settings Description SOFT Produces the most gradual change. MEDIUM Results in a setting midway between SOFT and HARD. HARD Produces the sharpest change. 5 SIDE CHAIN Q Adjusts the band width of the side chain filter. Range: 0.50 − 16.00 6 SIDE CHAIN F Adjusts the center frequency of the side chain filter. Range: 20.0 Hz − 20.
Software REV-X REV-X REV-X is a digital reverb platform developed by Yamaha for pro audio applications. One REV-X effect is included in this unit. Input signals can be sent to the REV-X effect, and the REV-X effect is applied only to the monitor outputs. Three types of REV-X are available: Hall, Room, and Plate. The hardware REV-X equipped with the device and REV-X of the VST Plug-in version have essentially the same parameters.
Software 7 LPF Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter. Range: 1.0 kHz − 20.0 kHz 8 Hi Ratio Adjusts the duration of reverberation in the high frequency range by using a ratio relative to the Reverb Time. When you set this parameter to 1, the actual specified Reverb Time is fully applied to the sound. The lower the value, the shorter the duration of reverberation in the high frequency range. Range: 0.1 − 1.
Software Guitar Amp Classics CLEAN Guitar Amp Classics are guitar amp simulations that make extensive use of advanced Yamaha modeling technology. Four amp types with different sonic characteristics are provided. 5 6 The Guitar Amp Classics equipped with the device and the Guitar Amp Classics of the VST Plug-in version have the same parameters.
Software CRUNCH 1 DRIVE 2 3 4 5 This is the amp type to use when you want lightly overdriven crunch tones. The CRUNCH model simulates the type of vintage tube amplifiers that are favored for blues, rock, soul, R&B, and similar styles. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 Normal/Bright The DRIVE amp type provides a selection of distortion sounds that simulate the tonal character of various high gain tube amplifiers.
Software LEAD 1 2 3 4 5 6 The LEAD amp type simulates a high-gain tube amp that is rich in overtones. It is ideally suited to playing lead guitar lines that will project well in an ensemble, but it can also be set up for crisp accompaniment tones as well. 1 High/Low Selects the amp output type. The [High] setting simulates a high-output amp, and allows the creation of more distorted tones. 2 GAIN Adjusts the input level applied to the preamp stage.
