Frequently Asked Questions - iXR TASCAM

Can the iXR work with an iPad?

Yes, the iXR is compatible with iOS devices (iPad/iPhone/iPod touch) with a Lightning connector. Use the Lightning-to-USB cable supplied with the iOS device and connect a USB AC adapter (5 V, 700 mA minimum) to the PC/MAC/POWER port.

How to connect a microphone to the iXR?

Connect an XLR microphone to the IN 1 or IN 2 jacks. Set the MIC/LINE INST selector to MIC/LINE. If using a condenser microphone, activate the +48 V phantom power with the PHANTOM switch on the rear. Adjust the gain with the corresponding GAIN knob.

Why is the USB LED flashing?

The USB LED flashes when the USB connection is inactive. Ensure the USB cable is properly connected and that the dedicated software (Windows driver or settings panel) is installed. On iOS, the Settings Panel app must be installed.

Can I use the iXR without a computer?

The iXR can be used with an iOS device as an audio interface. It requires external power via a USB AC adapter (or mobile battery). Without a computer or iOS device, it cannot operate standalone.

How to adjust the headphone volume?

Use the PHONES knob on the front panel. Before connecting headphones, turn this knob to minimum to avoid excessive sound level. The same signal is also output from the LINE OUT jacks.

Which operating systems are supported?

Windows: 10 (32/64-bit), 8.1 (32/64-bit), 7 SP1 (32/64-bit). Mac: OS X 10.8.4 to 10.11 or later. iOS: versions 8, 9 or later. Windows Vista and XP are not supported.

How to install the Windows driver?

Download the driver from the TEAC website (teac-global.com). Unzip the file and run iXR_Installer_XXX.exe. Follow the installation wizard. Important: install the driver before connecting the iXR to the computer.

What to do if the sound is cut off or distorted?

Check that the MONITOR knob is not turned too far towards INPUT. Increase the buffer size in the audio application or the settings panel. Close background software (antivirus, WiFi). On Mac, set the energy saver to Never.

How to use the +48 V phantom power?

Activate the PHANTOM switch on the rear. It powers both inputs simultaneously. Do not activate it with dynamic or ribbon microphones that are not compatible. Set LINE OUT and PHONES to minimum before activating/deactivating phantom power.

Is the iXR supplied with audio software?

Yes, the iXR includes Cubase LE for Windows/Mac and Cubasis LE for iOS (free download from the App Store). Connecting the iXR to an iOS device removes the restrictions of the Cubasis LE demo version.

CAUTION

• A USB power adapter is not included with an iPod touch. To use an iPod touch with this unit, purchase a genuine Apple USB power adapter (capable of supplying 5V and at least 700mA current).
  • Operation with other USB power adapters is possible, but we strongly recommend using the genuine Apple USB power adapter included with the iPad/iPhone.
  When using another USB power adapter, be sure that the power supply device meets the following specifications.
  • Supplied voltage: 5 V
  • Supplied current: 700 mA or more
• Supplied voltage: 5 V
• Supplied current: 700 mA or more
  Using a power supply device when the specifications are other than the above could cause malfunction, overheating, fire or other problems. If anything abnormal occurs, stop use

and contact the retailer where you purchased the unit or a TASCAM service center to request repair.

When using a computer (Windows/Mac)

When this unit is connected to a computer, it will operate using USB bus power, so connecting a separate power supply device is not necessary.

CAUTION

• Before making connections, turn this unit and all connected devices (excluding computers/iOS devices) to be connected off (standby).
  • The PHANTOM switch affects both input channels simultaneously. Do not turn phantom power on when connecting a mic that does not require phantom power.
• Turning phantom power on when a dynamic mic or other mic that does not require it is connected could damage this unit and connected equipment.
• Do not connect or disconnect mics while phantom power is on. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and connected equipment.
• Set the LINE OUT and PHONES knobs to their minimum values before turning phantom power on/off. Depending on the connected mics, sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment could occur, and this could damage the equipment or harm hearing.
• When using condenser mics that require phantom power and dynamic mics together, be sure to use balanced dynamic mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot be used when phantom power is enabled.
  • Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will break them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic.

Using the USB ports when connecting iOS devices

Connect the USB power adapter included with the iPad or iPhone to the USB cable included with this unit, and connect the cable to the PC/MAC/POWER port.

To connect an iOS device, use the Lightning-USB cable included with the iOS device to connect it to the port.

Check the operating systems supported by the software that you are trying to install.

1. Stop software that is running in the background

Antivirus software and other software running in the background can interfere with installation. Quit software running in the background and try installing again.

■he unit will not turn on.

• When using an iOS device, a power supply device must be connected to the PC/MAC/POWER port. Carefully read "Connecting the power" on page 9 of this operation manual and connect a suitable power supply device.
• When using this unit with a computer, the computer must support USB bus power. Check the computer specifications.

■he unit is connected, but the computer/iOS device does not recognize it.

1. Install the dedicated software

- If you have not done so, install the dedicated software. See "Installing the dedicated software" on page 7 for details.

1. Change the USB port (if using a computer)

2. This unit will not work with USB 1.1. Use a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port.

3. Do not use a USB hub. Always connect the unit directly to a USB port on the computer.

4. If the above steps do not resolve the problem, connect the unit to a different USB port on the computer.

5. Check the connection cable (when using an iOS device)

- When connecting this unit to an iOS device, always use the Lightning-USB cable included with the iOS device. Operation is not guaranteed with cables other than Apple genuine cables.

■here is no sound even when audio is playing back on the computer.

Confirm that the unit's MONITOR knob is not turned all the way to the left (toward INPUT). If that is the case, turn the MONITOR knob to the right of center.

In addition, confirm the following while the unit is connected to the computer. Moreover, if you make the following settings, sound will be output through this unit, but no sound will be output by the computer's speakers or headphone jack.
