Connecting the Guitarface II to your computer
Connecting the Guitarface II to a computer is very easy! Simply connect your Guitarface II, with
the included USB cable, to a free USB port on your computer. When the Guitarface II is attached
the green LED lights up briefly to signal a good power supply to the Guitarface II. The installation
under Windows will then take place automatically, a few seconds after connecting to your
computer-system it will find a "USB Audio Codec" or "USB Audio Device", which can be used in
each application and adjusted in the system control. Using the USB connection your digitized audio
data can now be transferred to your computer!
LINE inputs
Switch the input adjustment switch to “LINE”. Connect your Player device with a cable to the two
6,3mm TRS jack sockets marked „Input 1“ and “Input 2”. Now adjust the input-level with the little
wheels on the back side of the Guitarface. You can connect any devices with a LINE level output,
e.g. Tape deck or CD players in this mode.
Instrument input
Switch the input adjustment switch to “DI”. Connect your electric guitar or bass with a mono cable
to the 6,3mm TRS jack socket marked „Input 1 or 2“. Now adjust the input-level with the little
wheels on the back side. Note: because the Guitarface II has two independent channels, you can
record on channel one a microphone and on channel two an electric guitar.
MIC with +48V phantom power input ATTENTION!
Please firstly connect your condenser microphone with a symmetric microphone cable to one of the
6,3mm TRS jack socket marked „Input 1“ or “Input 2”. Switch the input adjustment switch to
“+48V”. Please note, that switching the phantom power on makes a noise, that can damage your
speaker system. Please REDUCE THE LEVEL of your amplifier BEFORE switching to “+48V”!
After one minute the phantom power is ready to work! Now adjust the input-level with the little
wheel next to the input socket.
MIC input for dynamic microphones
You can also connect a dynamic microphone to the 6,3mm TRS jack socket marked „Input 1 or 2“.
But of course there is no preamp for the dynamic microphone, the input level will a little bit weak,
and must be amplified later in the recording software.
Signal/peak indicator LEDs
The two LEDS indicate an incoming audio signal to the Guitarface II. With a correct level the green
signal LED lights up. It peaks red only lights up when the signal level is too high, use the input
level wheel to adjust the signal level down to just below peak.
LINE-Output (Stereo TRS Jacks)
Connect your amplifier to these outputs for monitor recordings or sounds from the computer.
The left LINE Out, marked with “S” for “stereo”, can be used as a headphone output. For many
headphones the amplification will be high enough.
References to the driver attitude under Windows audio sequencer programs such as Cubase, Sonar
or Samplitude:
The Guitarface II runs under hard disk recording programs in the "Full Duplex Mode"
(simultaneous admission and rendition) usually only with ASIO Multimedia drivers, the Windows
WDM driver only permits one direction (admission or rendition) at the same time. We recommend
