7 AUDITION key This key causes the REV500's internal tone generator to play a sound, allowing you to check the effect of the currently selected program. A utility function (see page 15) allows you to select one of two sounds for this key to play, and to set the REV500 to play this sound once or repeatedly when the AUDITION key is pressed. Rear Panel 0 A 8 UTILITY key and LED This key lets you access the REV500's utility functions, which include MIDI settings and system-related functions. The LED above this key will light when a utility function is being used. See page 18 for a summary of the functions that can be accessed using this key. 9 POWER switch This switch turns the REV500 on and off. B C 0 FOOT SW connector This 1/4" phone jack allows you to connect a Yamaha FC5 footswitch, for hands-free remote control of your REV500. You can use the FC5 footswitch either to mute the REV500's effect output, or to advance the current program selection. A MIDI terminals The REV500 sends and receives MIDI data via these connectors. B OUTPUT connectors and output level switch These are balanced output jacks that output the analog return signal from the REV500 to your mixer, multitrack recorder, or other audio equipment. A pair of XLR connectors and a pair of 1/4" phone jacks are provided. If you desire monophonic output, insert the plug in the left (L) connector only. The output level switch selects either -10 dB or +4 dB as the nominal output level. C INPUT connectors and input level switch These are balanced input jacks that receive the analog signal from your mixer, multitrack recorder, or other audio equipment. A pair of XLR connectors and a pair of 1/4" phone jacks are provided. If the sound source to be processed is monophonic, insert the plug in the left (L) connector only. Also, be sure to set the REV500 to use mono input (refer to page 14). The input level switch selects either -10 dB or +4 dB as the nominal input level. Do not connect jacks to both the XLR and 1/4" phone INPUT connectors, as doing so may adversely affect the performance of the REV500.
