IMPORTANT NOTES  
291b  
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2  
and 4, please read and observe the following:  
Power Supply  
Repairs and Data  
301  
452  
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any  
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's  
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric  
motor or variable lighting system).  
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.  
Important data should always be written down on paper.  
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.  
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related  
to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not  
be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no  
liability concerning such loss of data.  
307  
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the  
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions  
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.  
308  
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the  
POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the  
unit has been completely disconnected from the source of  
power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first  
turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord  
from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into  
which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug  
should be one that is within easy reach.  
Additional Precautions  
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be  
551  
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the  
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against  
the risk of losing important data, we recommend that you  
periodically write down important data you have stored  
in the unit's memory on paper.  
Placement  
552  
351  
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents  
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment  
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory once it has  
been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability  
concerning such loss of data.  
containing large power transformers) may induce hum.  
To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this  
unit; or move it farther away from the source of inter-  
ference.  
553  
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s  
352a  
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks  
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.  
• This device may interfere with radio and television  
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such  
receivers.  
556  
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the  
352b  
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you  
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s  
internal elements.  
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications  
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of  
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-  
ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience  
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices  
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch  
them off.  
557  
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during  
normal operation.  
558a  
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s  
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use  
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about  
those around you (especially when it is late at night).  
355b  
• When moved from one location to another where the  
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water  
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage  
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in  
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must  
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation  
has completely evaporated.  
559a  
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box  
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,  
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.  
562  
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using  
some other make of connection cable, please note the  
following precautions.  
Maintenance  
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth  
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use  
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this  
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level  
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-  
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-  
turer of the cable.  
401a  
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To  
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a  
mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe  
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.  
402  
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any  
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or  
deformation.

This selects whether the input signal will be monitored in stereo or in monaural.  
Even if MONO is selected, the audio signal sent via USB to your computer is stereo.  
Turning off the power of the UA-1000 will not change the setting of this switch.  
If you have connected a mic or guitar to only one of the combo input jacks, it is convenient to use the  
MONO setting.  
12.Direct monitor soft control switch (Direct monitor section)  
This selects whether the INPUT MONITOR will be controlled by your software. When lit, the monitor volume, pan,  
and on/off settings of each input jack can be controlled from your software. When unlit, signals will be output  
without being affected by any settings of the INPUT MONITOR.  
This lets you temporarily disable the settings of your software in order to check the state of connections.  
For details on controlling the UA-1000 from your computer, refer to “UA-1000 Control Panel” (p. 36).  
Turning off the power of the UA-1000 will not change the setting of this switch.  
For details, refer to “UA-1000 Control Panel” (p. 36).

13.Direct monitor volume (Direct monitor section)  
This adjusts the volume at which the input signal is sent to the INPUT MONITOR. If you set the knob  
to the 0 dB position, the volume will be the same as the signal that is being recorded.  
* For details on the INPUT MONITOR, refer to “UA-1000 Control Panel” (p. 36).  
If this knob is turned all the way to the left, the signal level sent to the INPUT MONITOR will be zero.  
If you are “thru-ing” the audio data within your computer, or have connected a mixer and are  
outputting the input signal directly from the mixer for monitoring, leave this knob turned all the way  
to the left.  
You can adjust the direct monitor volume even when the direct monitor soft control switch is turned  
off.

14.Output volume select switch  
This switches the jacks that will be controlled by the output volume knob. Hold this down for two seconds or longer.  
If you set this to MAIN, the knob adjusts the volume of the main output signal (i.e., all input signals plus the playback  
signals from the computer mixed).  
If you set this to ALL, the knob adjusts the volume of all output jacks together.  
For details, refer to “Block diagram” (p. 51).  
Turning off the power of the UA-1000 will not change the setting of this switch.  
Lower the volume of the connected equipment before you change the setting of the output  
volume select switch.  
15.Output volume knob  
This adjusts the final volume that is output from the UA-1000.  
If the output volume knob select switch is set to MAIN, this knob adjusts the volume of the main output signal (i.e.,  
all input signals plus the playback signals from the computer mixed). If you set this to ALL, the knob adjust the  
volume of all output jacks together.  
For details, refer to “Block diagram” (p. 51).  
16.Headphone jack  
A set of headphones can be connected here. The headphone jack will output the main output signal (i.e., all input  
signals plus the playback signals from the computer mixed by the monitor mixer).  
Sound will still be output from the master output jacks even if headphones are connected.  
For details, refer to “Internal blocks of the UA-1000” (p. 36).  
17.Output level indicators  
These LEDs will light to indicate the output level adjusted by the output volume knob. Adjust the input sensitivity  
knob of each input jack so that the red LED (CLIP) does not light.  
18.Power indicator  
This indicator will light when the power switch is on.

24.Coaxial digital input jack / optical digital input jack  
Use these jacks to input digital audio from a CD/MD/DAT, etc. If a digital device is connected to the optical digital  
input jack, the optical digital input jack will be given priority; the signal from the coaxial digital input jack will not  
be input. Digital signals applied to the digital input connectors are handled as INPUT 9 and 10.  
In order to record a digital signal, the external clock switch must be turned on.  
If you want to use the optical digital input jack to input ADAT signals, simultaneously press the ADAT mode switch  
and the external clock switch to select ADAT Input/Output mode. This allows ADAT format signals to be input  
from the optical input jack.

Preparations for using the UA-1000  
Installing the driver  
What is a driver?  
A “driver” is software that transfers data between the UA-1000 and application  
software running on your computer, when your computer and the UA-1000 are  
connected by a USB cable. The driver sends data from your application to the UA-  
1000, and from the UA-1000 to your application.
