Sterling
Owner’s Guide
HEADPHONE:
You can plug a set of stereo headphones into the headphone
OUTPUT
jack so you can play in
private. When headphones are plugged in to the output jack the Sterling speaker system is muted. The vol-
ume knob labeled
VOLUME (MONITOR)
now allows you to control the headphone volume.
IMPORTANT:
Before plugging headphones (stereo only) into the headphone
OUTPUT
jack, be sure the vol-
ume knob labeled
VOLUME (MONITOR)
and the
EXPRESSION PEDAL
are set to minimum volume. Turn the
knob to the left until it stops. Place the expression pedal in the toe side up, heel side down position. After
plugging the headphones in and placing them on your ears, hold a note or play a rhythm style, and slowly
increase the volume to a comfortable level.
Exposure to high volume levels can cause hearing damage and loss.
OTHER CONNECTIONS
These connections are located on a the back side of the Sterling.
MIDI IN, OUT, THRU:
You never need to use these connections to fully enjoy playing the Lowrey Sterling.
These are the connections used for connecting other MIDI equipped devices to your Sterling. Any MIDI
equipped device’s manual will describe connection and operation. The controls described in
FEATURE PAGE
10 - MIDI
on page 124, will only be needed when making such a connection.
AUX OUT, RIGHT-LEFT:
These two 1/4” jacks are stereo line level outputs. They are there so you can record
the Sterling directly into a tape deck, or connect the Sterling to an external amplification system. If only the
LEFT jack is used, a monaural, (not stereo), signal of the complete Sterling sound is sent out.
AUX IN, RIGHT-LEFT:
These two 1/4” jacks are stereo line level inputs. They are there to let you utilize the
premium sound system on the Sterling to listen to other audio sources: tape decks, CD players, MP3 Players,
iPods, etc.
The
AUX IN
selection on
FEATURE PAGE 8
, on page 119, controls whether the sound coming in is controlled
by the Volume Pedal (
THROUGH
) or controlled by the device connected to the
AUX IN
Jack(s) (
BYPASS
). Use
the Left input for monaural signals.
