IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 3, please read and
observe the following:
Power Supply
301
Do not connect this unit to same electrical
outlet that is being used by an electrical
appliance that is controlled by an inverter
(such as a refrigerator, washing machine,
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that
contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the electrical appliance is used, power
supply noise may cause this unit to
malfunction or may produce audible noise. If
it is not practical to use a separate electrical
outlet, connect a power supply noise filter
between this unit and the electrical outlet.
302
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat
after long hours of consecutive use. This is
normal, and is not a cause for concern.
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.
Placement
351
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other
equipment containing large power trans-
formers) may induce hum. To alleviate the
problem, change the orientation of this unit;
or move it farther away from the source of
interference.
352a
This device may interfere with radio and
television reception. Do not use this device in
the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
Noise may be produced if wireless communi-
cations devices, such as cell phones, are
operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise
could occur when receiving or initiating 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.
354a
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight,
place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it
inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive
heat can deform or discolor the unit.
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.
Maintenance
401a
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a
soft, dry cloth 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.
Repairs and Data
452
Please be aware that all data contained in the
unit’s 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Additional Precautions
553
Please be aware that the contents of memory
can be 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.
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents 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.
553
Use a reasonable amount of care when using
the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls;
and when using its jacks and connectors.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
556
When connecting / disconnecting all cables,
grasp the connector itself—never pull on the
cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts,
or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
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).
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.
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
information on cable specifications, contact
the manufacturer of the cable.
Handling CD-ROMs
801
Avoid touching or scratching the shiny
underside (encoded surface) of the disc.
Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be
read properly. Keep your discs clean using a
commercially available CD cleaner.
Copyright
852a
When exchanging audio signals through a
digital connection with an external
instrument, this unit can perform recording
without being subject to the restrictions of the
Serial Copy Management System (SCMS).
This is because the unit is intended solely for
musical production, and is designed not to be
subject to restrictions as long as it is used to
record works (such as your own composi-
tions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of
others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits
second-generation and later copying through
a digital connection. It is built into MD
recorders and other consumer digital-audio
equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)
853
Do not use this unit for purposes that could
infringe on a copyright held by a third party.
We assume no responsibility whatsoever with
regard to any infringements of third-party
copyrights arising through your use of this
unit.

1.
Combo input jacks
These are analog audio signal input jacks with mic preamps.
Since they can accommodate either XLR type or phone type
plugs, you can use the type of connector most suitable for your
equipment. You may connect either balanced or unbalanced
devices. The gain setting will differ depending on whether you
use the XLR type or the phone type connection.
XLR type:
-50– -10 dBu
Phone type:
-36– +4 dBu
Use the XLR type connection if you’re connecting a mic, and
the phone type connection if you’re connecting other equipment.
The XLR type connection can provide 48 V phantom power, allowing you to
connect condenser mics that require a phantom power supply. In this case, turn on
phantom power switch (20)
on the rear panel.

4.
Limiter switch
This turns the UA-101’s hardware limiter on/off.
Even if a high-volume audio signal is suddenly received at the
combo input
jacks (1)
, this limiter will apply mild compression to prevent clipping noise from
occurring before the AD converter.
* Clipping noise will occur if the input exceeds the capacity of the limiter.
5.
Input/output level indicators
These LEDs will light according to the level of the input signals at the
combo input
jacks (1)
and the monitor output signals (immediately before the monitor volume).
(Refer to the block diagram
front cover)
When signals are being input from the
combo input jacks (1)
, these LEDs
function as input level indicators. If there is no input signal for a time, the LEDs will
switch to functioning as monitor output indicators.
6.
Sync indicator
When the
digital input switch (7)
is on, this indicates the state of
synchronization with the digital device connected to the
digital input connector
(8)
.
7.
Digital input switch
Turn this on ( pressed inward) if you’re recording from the digital input. This lets
you synchronize the UA-101 with an external digital device connected to the
digital input connector (8)
. (External synchronization mode)
When functioning as
input level indicators
The LEDs will light red at a level immediately
before distortion occurs (- 6 dB). Use the
input
sensitivity knobs (2)
to adjust the input lev-
el so that the red LEDs do not light.
When functioning as
monitor output level indicators
The LEDs will light red when the sound being output
to the monitor output jacks reaches a level immedi-
ately before distortion (0 dB). If the LEDs light red,
lower the monitor output volume in the
UA-101
Control Panel
(p. 38).
Lit

Digital input connector (optical)
Use this when you need to input a digital audio signal from a CD/MD/DAT or
similar device.
A digital signal input via the
digital input connector
is identified as audio ports
EDIROL UA-101 9-10
when you’re recording it into your computer.
Turn the
digital input switch (7)
on if you want to record a digital signal. The
sample rate of the input signal must match the setting of the
sample rate select
switch (18)
.
9.
Digital output connector (optical)
Use this when you need to output a digital audio signal to a MD/DAT or similar
digital audio device. Signals output from EDIROL UA-101 9-10, which are the audio
output ports of your computer, are output from the UA-101’s
digital out
connector
.
10.
Sample rate select switch
Use this to specify the sample rate at which you want to record and play back audio
data. If you change the setting of this switch, you must exit all software, switch off
the UA-101, then turn it back on again.
You must set this to match the sample rate of the software you’re using. If you’re
using external synchronization mode (digital input switch turned on), the sample
rate of your external device must also match this setting.
[Limitations when using the 192 kHz setting]
The digital input connector and digital output connector cannot be used.
Input jacks 7/8 and output jacks 7/8 cannot be used.
11.
STEREO/MONO select switch (Direct Monitor section)
This selects whether the input signal will be monitored in stereo (STEREO) or in
monaural (MONO). If you want to use monaural, turn this switch on ( pressed
inward).
For example, if you’ve connected a guitar only to INPUT 2, you would use the
monaural ( pressed inward) setting. Even if this is set to
monaural
(MONO), the
audio signal sent via USB to your computer will be stereo.
12.
Direct Monitor Soft Control switch (Direct Monitor Mixer section)
Turn this on ( pressed inward) if you want to control the direct monitor mixer
(block diagram
front cover) using ASIO 2.0 compliant software or UA-101
Control Panel. When this switch is on, the monitor volume, pan, and on/off settings
of each input jack and each output from the computer can be controlled by your
software.
(refer to
“UA-101 Control Panel”
(p. 38))
When this switch is off, all settings of the Direct Monitor Mixer will be ignored (i.e.,
bypassed), allowing you to monitor the audio inputs at all input jacks and the
outputs from your computer just as they are. This provides a convenient way to
temporarily ignore the software settings when you need to do things such as check
the connections.

Grounding terminal
927
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a
discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when
you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other
objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is
absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground
terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight
hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure
of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
Unsuitable places for connection
Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Malfunctions will occur if phantom power is supplied to dynamic mics or audio
playback devices. For details on the requirements of your mic, refer to the owner’s
manual for the mic you
re using.
(The UA-101’s phantom power supply is DC 48V, maximum of 20 mA.)

Installing the driver
In order to connect the UA-101 to your computer and
use it, you will need the correct driver.
This section explains how to install the driver you’ll need
when using the UA-101 in Hi-Speed USB mode on the
Windows XP operating system.
If you’re using the UA-101 in Full-Speed USB mode, you
must use the driver located in the
USB1
folder of the
included CD-ROM.
For details on installation, refer to Readme_E.htm in the
respective folder.
If you’re using an operating system other than Windows
XP, use the appropriate driver from the USB1 folder of the
CD-ROM. Before you install the driver, be sure to read the
Readme_E.htm file located in each folder.
Windows XP/2000
The
USB1 \ XP2K
folder of the CD-ROM
Windows Me/98
The
USB1 \ Me98
folder of the CD-ROM
Mac OS
The
USB1
folder of the CD-ROM
* Use the appropriate driver for your operating system and
computer.
