Performing Live Your instrument features a number of convenient functions for use when setting it up on stage in order to perform live. In order to provide a practical description of the connections and settings required in this type of situation. Stage setup and signal flow The sound from your instrument will be sent to a PA mixer, then the mixed sound is amplified and sent to the front-of house speakers so that the audience can hear it. Monitor speakers may 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.

Failure to do so may damage to the PA system.  Connect your footswitch/foot pedal, or pedal unit. For details on using foot pedal/footswitch or pedal unit and the functions that can be assigned to each pedal, refer to page 15.  Connect the instrument's output to the PA mixer. In order to be heard, your instrument will need to be connected to the PA mixer's inputs. Normally, this connection is made via a DI box (direct box) located onstage. Connect the AUX OUT [R] and [L/L+R] jacks on the instrument's rear panel to the DI box inputs using commercially available standard mono audio cables. 1 Set the [VOLUME] slider to the MIN position. 2 Check with the PA operator whether you can connect the instrument to the PA mixer or not. 3 Connect the instrument as the following illustration.

NOTE • When playing the piano sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker, and while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected headphones, we recommend that you set the "Binaural Sampling" or "Stereophonic Optimizer" functions to "OFF" (page 14). • If only one of the DI box channels is available for use with your instrument, connect it to the AUX OUT [L/L+R] jack using a standard mono audio cable. In this configuration, your left and right signals will be mixed and output from the instrument in mono. • If DI boxes are not being used, connect the AUX OUT [R] and [L/L+R] jacks to the input jacks on the PA mixer or an on-stage sub-mixer. 92 P-525 Owner's Manual
