EUROGRAND EG8280USB/EG2280USB User Manual
6.1.2 AUX IN jack
This 1/8" jack is ideal for the connection of MP3 players, portable CD players,
MD players, etc. Most applications will require a 1/8" TRS cable, but adaptors may
also be used.
6.1.3 MIC IN jack
Connect a microphone to the MIC IN jack using a standard XLR cable. You may use
dynamic (handheld) or condenser microphones. The jack always supplies 15 V of
phantom power to enable the use of most condenser mics.
Adjust the input signal of the microphone with the GAIN knob. If your voice
begins to distort, turn the GAIN knob down.
NOTE: The internal effects do not affect the microphone input.
6.2 Connection to amplifiers and
recording equipment
The EG2280USB/EG8280USB is equipped with LINE OUT connectors for connecting
the digital piano to external keyboard amplifiers, P.A. systems or home stereo
systems. For performances in larger rooms (e.g. stages, hall) it can be necessary
to use external amplifiers.
You can also use the outputs to connect recording equipment (e.g. computer,
cassette recorder, MD recorder). Unlike the built-in music sequencer, recording on
external audio equipment gives you the advantage that you can play back your
music completely independently of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB. For example,
you can give your friends a recorded CD or MP3 or archive music pieces on any
recording medium.

Caution
◊
Be sure to switch the EG2280USB/EG8280USB on BEFORE you
switch on the external amplifier, so as to avoid switch-on thumps
being amplified. Such signals could damage the amplifier and the
loudspeakers. Switch off the equipment in reverse order.
6.3 MIDI functions
MIDI is an interface and protocol for transmitting of playing data to other MIDI
equipment. The most important playing data are pitch and length of notes,
key velocity and channel volume, program changes and various controller data
generated, for example, by controllers such as the pedals.
The MIDI interface does not transmit electrical audio signals but control data
only . The MIDI protocol provides for the transmission of data on 16 independent
channels. Playing data are always channel-specific data.
The EG2280USB/EG8280USB is equipped with three MIDI jacks for connecting
additional MIDI sound modules or software/hardware sequencers:
• Use the MIDI OUT to connect additional synthesizers or a music computer
receiving MIDI data from the EG2280USB/EG8280USB.
• Use the MIDI IN to send playing data from other MIDI controller keyboards or
a music computer to the sound generator of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB.
• The MIDI THRU jacks passes on the MIDI data received via the MIDI IN jack
without modification. In combination with a music computer you can thus
integrate another keyboard or sound module into the MIDI chain comprising
EG2280USB/EG8280USB and music computer.
6.3.1 MIDI connection to other sound modules
You can use the EG2280USB/EG8280USB to control external sound modules
via MIDI. This allows you to use the keyboard and pedals of the digital
piano to control the sound generators of other synthesizers or sound
modules not equipped with a keyboard. When you also connect the audio
signal of the external sound module to the EG2280USB/EG8280USB,
as described in chapter 6.1, all sounds played in addition to the sounds of the
EG2280USB/EG8280USB can be heard through the internal loudspeakers.
The following illustration shows a set-up comprising the EG2280USB/EG8280USB
and an external sound module.
