. Recording a piano along with an External CD Player or Tape Recorder
Make sure that the piano microphones are connected correctly
(see pg.8 & 36-40 for more detail).
1
Connect the out put of the CD player or tape recorder
to the LINE/MIC IN. If necessary, use a conversion
adaptor because the PR-1’s input jack is a normal 1/
4” jack.
2
Switch the LINE/MIC switch to LINE.
3
Adjust the CD player’s volume level with the LEVEL
knob. Use the level indicator on the front panel to ad-
just the signal level for the best sound (see pg.14 for
more detail). If necessary, adjust the LEVEL knob of
the PIANO MIC IN (see pg.9 for more detail). Adjust
the balance between the piano and CD player by lis-
tening with headphones.
4
If necessary, while listening with headphones adjust
the microphone’s left/right panning. You can set the
panning of MIC1 and MIC2 individually (see pg.23,
24 for more detail). Since a CD player is usually in
stereo, setting the panning to (LINE L = L10, LINE R
= R10) will usually sound best. Please feel free to ex-
periment.

. Recording a Piano in a concert hall
Let’s suppose that you want to put the PR-1 on the side of the stage or backstage and record a piano concert using the
extended length piano microphone cables (15 m) which are sold separately.
1
Disconnect the standard piano microphone cables and connect the extended length cables (15 m).
2
Attach the piano microphones to the piano. (see pg.8 & 36-40 for more detail).
3
Connect the microphone cables to the PR-1. See pg.8
4
If you want to add song numbers to the recording without stopping the recorder (to avoid missing any of the perfor-
mance) please see pg.11 for more detail on adding song numbers while recording.
5
If you want to record the ambience of the audience (Applause etc.) you can connect another microphone to the LINE/
MIC IN, facing towards the audience.
