1[HI-Z INPUT 1] button

This button switches the HI-Z on (O)/off (N)

for the analog input jack 1. When directly con-

necting an electric guitar or electric bass that

has passive pickups and no built-in preamp to

the analog input jack 1, turn the [HI-Z] button

on.

NOTE

• Use an unbalanced phone cable when you connect

an electric guitar or electric bass and turn the [HI-Z]

button on. If you use a balanced cable or an XLR

cable in such a case, this device will not work cor-

rectly.

• If no device is connected to analog input jack 1, turn

this button off. Otherwise noise may occur.

2[MONO] button

This button allows analog input jacks 1 and 2 to

be used either as separate mono channels or as

a stereo pair. When the button is on (O), analog

input jacks 1 and 2 function as independent

mono channels feeding both the L and R LINE

OUT jacks. It is used to monitor the sound of

the microphone or guitar connected to the ana-

log input jack 1 in the center of the monitor

speakers. When the button is off (N), analog in-

put jack 1 and 2 function as a stereo pair: the

analog input jack 1 signal feeds the L LINE

OUT jack and the analog input jack 2 signal

feeds the R LINE OUT jack. Switching this but-

ton on/off does not affect the signal sent to the

computer.

3INPUT 1/2 GAIN controls/PEAK

Indicator

Adjusts the input signal level. The signal that

has passed through the GAIN control will be

sent to the computer. To achieve the best bal-

ance of the recording level between S/N ratio

and dynamic range, adjust the level so that the

PEAK Indicator lights only occasionally and

briefly on the highest input transients.

4[PHANTOM INPUT 1&2] button/

Indicator

This button switches the phantom power

(+48V) on (O)/off (N). If you turn the button

on, the CI2+ supplies phantom power to the an-

alog input jack 1 and 2 (XLR-type). The indica-

tor lights when the button is turned on. Turn this

button on when using a phantom-powered con-

denser microphone.

CAUTION

• Make sure that phantom power is turned OFF un-

less it is needed.

• When turning phantom power ON, make sure that

no equipment other than phantom-powered de-

vices such as condenser microphones are con-

nected. Devices other than condenser

microphones may be damaged if connected to the

phantom power supply. Note, however, that the

switch may be left on when connecting to balanced

dynamic microphones. When connecting an unbal-

anced device to the analog input jacks (1/4" phone

type) and phantom power is turned on, hum or

noise may result; this is not a malfunction or fail-

ure in the device.

• Do not connect or disconnect a device while phan-

tom power is applied. Doing so can damage the

connected device and/or the unit itself.

• To protect your speaker system, leave the monitor

speakers (powered speakers) turned off when

switching the phantom power on/off. It’s also a

good idea turn all master control and output vol-

ume controls down to minimum. Neglect of these

precautions may result in large noise bursts that

may damage your equipment, your ears, or both.

5MASTER control

Adjusts the signal level sent to the LINE OUT

jacks. This allows you to adjust the overall vol-

ume without changing the relative volume bal-

ance among the channels. This control does not

affect the signal sent to the computer.

6PHONES control

Adjusts the signal level sent to the PHONES

jack, since this output signal is not affected by

the MASTER control.

7MIX control (INPUT—DAW)

Adjusts the signal level balance between the

signal from the analog input jacks and the sig-

nal from an application software, such as DAW.

This control does not affect the signal sent to

the computer.

TIP

Setting the audio driver buffer size

Noise produced when using audio applications

such as DAW software may affect audio re-

cording and/or playback. In most cases, you

can solve these problems by adjusting the au-

dio driver buffer size (the size of memory used

to temporarily hold data to avoid intermittent

playback). The buffer size can usually be ad-

justed via the audio driver setup window in the

application. (When using ASIO compatible soft-

ware for Windows, the buffer size can be ad-

justed in the ASIO Buffer Size parameter via

the Control Panel of the Yamaha Steinberg

USB Driver.) While the higher buffer size re-

duces load to the computer CPU but produces

latency (time lag) during recording/playback,

the smaller buffer size may result in noise or

the sound cutting off. Make sure to set the buf-

fer size to an appropriate value depending on

the performance of your computer, the number

of audio/MIDI tracks being recorded/played

back on the DAW software, the number of

plug-in software, and so on.

The assignable parameters to the AI KNOB are pa-

rameters that can be automated within the princi-

pal window and plug-in software on Cubase. Plug-

in software compatible with the AI KNOB are the

VST 3 plug-ins included with Cubase (as of Febru-

ary 2010). For the latest information about com-

patible plug-in software, refer to the following URL:

time will depend on the performance of the com-

puter you are using. You may experience inter-

mittent playback if you exceed your computer's

capabilities.

• Are you recording or playing long continu-

ous sections of audio?
