Behringer U-CONTROL UMA S UMA25S - Manual (Page 5)

5 U-CONTROL UMA25S User Manual
External power supply:
If you neither want to draw the power supply via USB nor power the device with
batteries, there is yet another possibility to connect the UMA25S to an external
power supply unit. Please observe the correct operational data (DC 9 V; 200 mA)
and correct polarity of the connector. Further information can be found above the
DC input on the rear panel of the device. Reverse polarity may cause damage to
the electronics.
IMPORTANT Installation information:
◊ The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful
broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the
distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded
cables for all connections.

1.2 System requirements
A current Windows PC or Mac computer with one USB port is required for USB
operation. Both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 are supported.
◊ The UMA25S supports the USB MIDI compatibility of Windows XP/Vista
and Mac OS X operating systems.
◊ The UMA25S can also be operated as a stand-alone MIDI controller
with no PC connected. Software control via MIDI is also possible,
provided your computer has a MIDI interface.
1.3 Hardware configuration
To connect the UMA25S to your computer, use the provided USB cable.
Connect the supplied headset as shown in Fig. 1.3. Optionally, hook up further
units to the UMA25S as can be seen from the diagram.
◊ Some headsets may cause interferences (humming). Should this be
the case, make sure the UMA25S is sufficiently grounded, for example,
by connecting a grounded mixer to the LINE OUT connectors.
If necessary, reduce the microphones's input volume level with the
LEVEL control (19).

Operating modes
There are different ways of using the UMA25S as a controller: a) Connect the
MIDI output of the UMA25S to external MIDI equipment (rack synthesizers,
samplers and similar); b) Connect the UMA25S to your computer via USB to
control your music software.
The first option does not include the functionality of the UMA25S’ audio
interface. The MIDI routing changes depending on the operating mode you are
working in.
