OVERVIEW

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Audio Interface 2i2, a simple and compact solution to transmit high quality audio to and from your computer using a professional computer audio interface incorporating high quality analogue preamps.
Audio Interface 2i2 devices will provide great dynamic range for audio and low noise and distortion. Additionally, the mic preamp now accepts higher input levels. The gain impedance of the preamp on each channel can be individually fine-tuned on each channel, with excellent clarity and definition when recording with good quality microphones to meet the greatest demand for vocals and many acoustic instrumentals. As for the direct monitoring function, you can monitor as you record in either mono or stereo, with zero latency.
Plug-and-play for Mac users, no driver installation required
This User Guide provides a detailed explanation of the hardware to help you achieve a thorough understanding of the product’s operational features. We recommend that both users who are new to computer-based recording, as well as more experienced users, take some time to read through the User Guide to have a full awareness of all the possibilities that the Audio Interface 2id and accompanying software can offer. If the main User Guide sections do not provide the information you need, be sure to consult
this website www.loganbpm.com, which contains a comprehensive collection of answers to common technical support queries.

Your OS should automatically switch the computer’s default audio inputs and outputs to be the Audio Interface. To verify this, right click on the Soundiconon the taskbar and select Sound Settings, and set the Audio Interface 2i2 as the Input and Output Device.

Audio setup in your DAW
Audio Interface 2i2is in compliance with any Windows-based DAW that supports AS/O or\WDM, as wellas any Mac-based DAW that uses Core Audio. After the introductory procedures above, you can begin to use Audio Interface 2i2 with the DAW of your choice.
Please NOTE your DAW may not automatically select the Audio Interface2i2 as its default/Odevice. In this case, you must manually select Audio Interface 2i2 as the driver on your DAW’s Audio Setup page. Please refer to your DAW’s documentation (or Help files) if you are unsure where to select the AS/O or Core Audio driver. The example below shows the correct configuration in the Ableton Live Lite Preferences panel (Windows version shown).

YUER USB Audio Interface - Figure 3 * Typical names. Terminology may differ slightly between DAWS

Once the Audio Interface 2i2 is set as the preferred Audio Device in your DAW, Inputs 1 &2 and Outputs 1 &2 will appear in your DAW’s Audio/O preferences. Depending on your DAW, you may need to enable certain inputs or outputs before use. The two examples below show Inputs 182 and Outputs 1 &2 enabled in the Ableton Lite Audio Preferences.

Examples of usage
The Audio Interface 2i2 is an excellent choice for several different recording and monitoring applications. Some typical configurations are shown below.
Connecting a microphone or instrument

YUER USB Audio Interface - Figure 5 This setup illustrates the most typical configuration for recording with DAW software on your Mac or PC. In this case, you might record guitar through Input 1 and vocals through Input 2 into your DAW, while monitoring the playback from the DAW via headphones (or speakers).
The front panel input sockets are “Combo” type, which accept either an XLR male connector or a %” (6.35 mm) jack plug.
The full gain range of the microphone preamplifier is only available to a mic connected via the XLR contacts. If your microphone has an XLR plug at the end of the cable, you can simply plug it in. If it is a “condenser” (or “capacitor”) microphone, you will need to turn on the 48 volt phantom power for it to let it work. Most modern microphones of other types, e.g., dynamic or ribbon, will not be damaged by the inadvertent application of phantom power, but NOTE that such damage may be occured on some older mies. if you have any doubt, please check the specification of your mic to ensure that it is safe to use.
If your mic has a jack plug on the end of the cable, it will probably require an adaptor to make it usable with the XLR part of the Combo connector. Inserting the jack plug will configure the preamp with reduced gain, which is likely to be insufficient for the mic (see below). Mies intended for use with computer sound cards may also require a much lower phantom power voltage, so an adaptor specific to the mic type should be obtained in this case.
The Audio Interface 2i2 has no “Mic/line” switch – the preamp stage is automatically configured for a microphone when you plug an XLR into the input, and for a line or instrument when you connect to a jack plug. Set the INTS switch to INTS if you are connecting with musical instrument, e.g., a guitar in the example, using an ordinary 2-pole (TS) guitar jack. Set the INST switch to LINNE if you are connecting a line level source such as a keyboard, synthesiser or the balanced output of an external audio mixer via a 3-pole (TRS) jack.
Note: the Combo connector accepts both TRS and TS types of jack plug.
Using direct monitoring
In the case of DAW recording application, latency will be the time it takes for your input signals to pass through your computer and audio software. Latency can be a problem for a performer who wishes to record while monitoring their input signals.
Thus, the Audio Interface 2i2 is fit with a “Direct Monitoring” option to solve this problem. Set the front panel DIRECT MONITOR control to ON will route your input signals directly to the Audio Interface 2i2’s headphone and main monitor outputs. This enables you to hear yourself with zero latency – i.e., in “real time” – along with the computer playback. The input signals to your computer are not affected in any way by this setting.
In MONO mode, Inputs 1 and 2 are routed equally to the two outputs (both the rear panel outputs and headphones) so that they both appear in the centre of the stereo image. This is useful when you are recording two separate instruments or an instrument and a vocal, where there is no need for the two signals to be specifically located in the stereo image. Further examples would be an acoustic and an electric guitar, a bass which is both mic’d and Dl’d or two separate mies differently positioned on a guitar amplifier.
When using Direct Monitoring, ensure that your DAW software is not set to route its input (what you are currently recording) to its output. otherwise you will hear yourself “twice”, with one signal audibly delayed as an echo.
Monitoring with DIRECT MONITOR set to OFF can be useful when using an FX plug- in to your DAW to create a stereo effect which contributes to the live performance. In this way, you will be able to hear exactly what is being recorded, complete with the FX. However, some latency may result, the amount depending on the DAW’s buffer size and processing power of the computer.
Connecting Audio Interface 2i2 to loudspeakers
The¼” jack outputs on the rear panel can be used to connect monitoring speakers. Self-powered active monitors incorporate internal amplifiers with a volume control, and may be connected directly. Passive loudspeakers will require a separate stereo amplifier; in this case, the outputs should be connected to the amplifier’s inputs.
Connecting active speakers

YUER USB Audio Interface - Figure 6 YUER USB Audio
Interface - Figure 7 The line outputs are 3-pole (TRS) % (6.35 mm)jack sockets, and they are electronically balanced. Typical consumer (Hi- Fi) amplifiers and small powered monitors will have unbalanced inputs, either on phono (RCA) sockets, or via a 3.5 mm 3-pole jack plug intended for direct connection to a computer. In either case, use a suitable connecting cable with jack plugs at one end.
Professional power amplifiers will generally have balanced inputs; We highly recommend using balanced cables to connect these to the outputs of the Audio Interface 2i2.
Note: You run the risk of creating an audio feedback loop if loudspeakers are active when you are monitoring a microphone! We recommend that you always turn off (or turn down) monitoring loudspeakers while recording, and use headphones when overdubbing.

HARDWARE FEATURE

Front panel YUER USB Audio Interface - Figure 8 The Front Panel includes the input connectors for Mic, Line and Instrument signals, as well as the input gain and monitoring controls.

Input 1: “Combo” type input sockets – connect microphones, instruments (e.g., guitar), or line level signals here. Combo sockets accept both XLR and %% (6.35 mm) jacks. Microphones will normally be connected using XLR plugs: instruments and line level signals should be connected via %” (6.35 mm)jack plugs of either TS or TRS type. The preamp gain is appropriate for microphones when an XLR plug is inserted, and for higher level signals when a jack plug is inserted. Do not connect anything other than a microphone -e.g. the output of a sound module or FX unit-via an XLR plug, as the signal level will overload the preamp, resulting in distortion. Also, if phantom power is enabled, the equipment may be damaged.
Input 2: The socket is suitable for¼” (6.35mm)jacks in which to connect an instrument (e.g. guitar) or a line level signal.
GAIN1 and GAIN2: Adjust the preamp gain for signals on inputs 1 and 2 respectively. Gain control with indicator to confirm signal level: Green light indicates input level -30dBFS to -1dBFS, and the light turns red when the input level is 0dBFS, indicating the signal is close to clipping.
INST/LINE: Line/1 nstru ment level switches for each in put which alter gain and input impedance to suit either instrument or line level signals. Applies to (TS) or (TRS) for selecting instrument mode.
48V: Phantom power switch formic inputs – enables 48 V phantom power at XLR contacts of both Combo connectors.
MONITOR: Main monitor output level control- sets the output level at the main (rear panel) outputs LEFT and RIGHT.
: The USB indicator illuminates when the unit receives USB bus power and is confirmed by the computer as connected and operating correctly.
DIRECT MONITOR: This switch turns direct monitoring mode on or off.
Headphone level: Adjusts the output level at the front panel stereo headphone output.
Headphone socket: ¼” TRS outputjack. If your head phones have a %%” TRSjack plug, connect them directly. If they have a 3.5 mm TRS” mini jack”,use aTRS ¼”-to-3.5 mmjackadaptor. Note that headphones fitted with 4-pole TRRS plugs will not operate correctly.
Back panel
TRS BALANCED: LEFT and RIGHT: 2x%(6.35mm) TRSjack sockets, balanced output. Either¼” TRS (balanced connection) or TS (unbalanced connection)jack plugs can be used.
: USB 2.0 port: Type C connector; connect to your computer with cable supplied.
