Kurzweil MPG-200 [12/48] Audio in and audio out

page 12

Chapter 3

Overview

Input/Output Panel

The Input/Output panel is located on the underside of the piano body, behind the power switch and headphone

jacks.

Audio In and Audio Out

Audio Out (RCA jacks) may be used to connect the MPG200 to external audio equipment, such as an

outboard mixer, powered speakers, or recording device.

Audio In jacks are used to connect the MPG200’s internal speakers to other devices such as a digital

audio player or CD player. Always turn off the MPG200’s power before plugging or unplugging cables

into the Audio In jacks.

The MPG200’s Volume and Tone Controls do not affect the volume or tone of the sound coming from

the Audio In jacks. Therefore it is best to use a device that has its own output level control and to use

that to adjust the sound volume from the external device.

MIDI In, Out and Thru

Use the MIDI In, Out and Thru ports to connect the MPG200 to other MIDI devices to receive and

send MIDI data.

CC Pedal (Volume/Expression Pedal)

This jack is used to connect a continuous controller pedal for volume and expression control. Our key-

boards require a pedal with a TRS 1/4” connector and 10k linear potentiometer. Most manufacturers EX-

CEPT Yamaha and Korg make pedals with the same specications and should work. Yamaha and Korg

pedals typically use an exponential potentiometer and therefore will not work correctly. The CC-1 pedal is

available from Kurzweil. You can order a pedal through your local Kurzweil dealer.

USB

Connect a USB cable to this port to send and receive MIDI or to connect to a computer for system

updates.
