USB port to an available USB port on your computer. This connection allows MPC
Renaissance to send/receive MIDI and audio data to/from the MPC software.
5. USB HUB OUTPUTS – You can connect additional USB devices (controllers, hard drives,
etc.) to these powered, high-speed USB 2.0 ports. In addition to being an audio interface,
these ports allow MPC Renaissance to function as a powered USB hub when it is powered
on.
6. STEREO OUT – Connect these 1/4" TRS outputs to your speaker system (not included).
The signal sent out of these outputs is the main mix. In the MPC software, you can set what
is routed to these outputs in the Program Mixer tab, by selecting OUT 1,2 as the OUT for
one pad or multiple pads.
7. ASSIGNABLE MIX OUT – Connect these 1/4" TRS outputs to an external mixer (not
included). The signal sent from these outputs is full-volume (0 dB). In the MPC software, you
can set what is routed to these outputs in the Program Mixer tab, by selecting OUT 3,4 as
the OUT for one pad or multiple pads.
8. S/PDIF IN/OUT – Use standard RCA cables to connect these jacks to devices that can
send/receive digital audio.
