Connection
The CL-9 is connected to the 788T and powered from it via USB; no other powering source is re-
quired. The 788T Headphone Output is connected to the CL-9’s 788T Headphone Input on the rear
panel allowing the CL-9 to be the master headphone control of the entire 788T/CL-9 system. Use the
following step-by-step instructions to ensure proper physical connection of the CL-9 to the 788T.
1. Connect the USB A Male connector to the USB A Female KEYBD Input on the 788T Rear Panel.
2. Connect the USB B Male connector to the USB B Female Input labeled “788T” on the CL-9 Rear Panel.
Once connected, the CL-9 immediately updates according to the 788T’s latest version of firmware.
When the CL-9 is first connected to a 788T
not originally shipped from the factory with revision
2.00 firmware or greater
, a notice appears on the LCD indicating that the firmware update process is
required for CL-9 operation. This update is required, even if revision 2.00 or greater is running on the
788T.
