Setting Up
Connecting Audio
Equipment
Your stage piano does not come with built-in speakers. In
order to hear what you play, therefore, you will need to
connect it to other audio equipment such as amplifiers
and speakers. You can also plug a set of headphones
into the [PHONES] jack in order to monitor the sound
directly. Audio equipment can be connected in a number
of different ways, two of which are described below.
Based on the illustrations, choose the connection format
most suited to your setup.
CAUTION
To prevent hearing loss, avoid using headphones at high
volumes for extended periods of time.
NOTICE
Whenever connecting other audio equipment, ensure that all
devices are turned off.
Output via amplifiers or powered
speakers
Using a pair of keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers,
you can accurately reproduce the full richness of your
stage piano’s Performances (page 21) and effects,
including stereo panning. In this type of situation,
connections to the amplifiers or speakers should be
made via the UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT
jacks on the rear panel. If you would prefer to monitor
your playing using a single keyboard amplifier or
powered speaker, the UNBALANCED [L/MONO]
OUTPUT jack should be used.
Output via a mixer
It is commonplace for musical instruments to be
connected to a mixer in recording and live-performance
environments. In addition to the unbalanced jacks
mentioned above, the CP4 STAGE also features a pair of
professional-use, balanced XLR jacks that prevent
unwanted noise from entering output signals. When
connecting to a mixer, we recommend that these
BALANCED [L] and [R] OUTPUT jacks be used. (As the
CP40 STAGE does not feature balanced output jacks, its
UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT jacks should
be used in this type of situation.)
NOTE
The sound output via the headphones is identical to that
output via the UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT
jacks and the BALANCED [L] and [R] OUTPUT jacks.
Furthermore, plugging in or disconnecting a set of
headphones has no effect on the sound being output via
these jacks.
