Your digital piano features a number of convenient functions for use when setting it up on stage in order to per-
form live. In order to provide a practical description of the connections and settings required in this type of situa-
tion, we will focus on the following two typical modes of use.
• Performing on-stage as part of a band
• Singing and playing on your own
The following description covers performances
together with other musicians on-stage at a live music
club, performing arts venue, or the like.
Stage setup and signal flow
The sound from your digital piano will be sent to a PA
mixer in order that its volume can be balanced with
that of the other instruments. From there, the mixed
sound is amplified and sent to the front-of-house
speakers so that the audience can hear it. Monitor
speakers will be placed on the floor in front of the
musicians so that they can more clearly hear their own
sound and that of the other instruments.
Connect your foot switch or pedal.
When plugged into the [SUSTAIN PEDAL] jack, the
bundled foot switch can be used to turn on and off sus-
tain. (See page 11.)
Connect the instrument’s output to the PA mixer.
In order to be heard, your instrument will need to be con-
nected to the PA mixer’s inputs. Normally, this connec-
tion is made via a DI box (direct box) located on-stage.
As described in the note on the left, you should ensure
that your digital piano is turned off and check with the
PA operator before connecting to a DI box. When you get
his or her OK, connect the [L/L+R] and [R] AUX OUT
jacks on the instrument’s rear panel to the DI box inputs
using standard mono audio cables (sold separately).
If DI boxes are not being used, connect the [L/L+R] and
[R] AUX OUT jacks on the instrument’s rear panel to the
Performing on-stage as part of a band
Please read the following before setting up.
• Ensure that the instrument is turned off before making any
connections. In addition, you should always check with the
PA operator and wait for his or her OK before connecting or
disconnecting cables. Connection or disconnection when
the operator is not ready can damage the PA system.
• Do not turn on your digital piano as soon as you have made
all of the required connections. You should always set the
[MASTER VOLUME] slider to the MIN position and get the
OK of the PA operator before turning on or off the instru-
ment. Turning your digital piano on or off when the operator
is not ready can damage the PA system.
