4.1 Haɗin shigarwa

The UMC404HD features four combo XLR/TRS inputs on the front panel. These inputs can accept either XLR connectors for microphones or 1/4" TRS/TS connectors for line-level instruments (keyboards, drum machines) or high-impedance instruments (guitars, basses).

• XLR: Don makirufo.
• 1/4" TRS/TS: For line-level or instrument-level signals. Use the 'LINE/INST' switch to select the appropriate input type.
• PAD: Engage the PAD button if your input signal is too hot and causing clipping. This attenuates the signal by a fixed amount.

4.2 Gain Control and Signal Indicators

Each input channel has a dedicated GAIN knob to adjust the input level. The 'SIG' (Signal) LED illuminates when an audio signal is present, and the 'CLIP' LED indicates that the input signal is too high and causing distortion. Adjust the GAIN knob to ensure the 'CLIP' LED does not light up frequently.
