GUITAR/BASS
This is the jack for connecting an electric guitar or bass. Since
this is a high-impedance input, a guitar or bass can be
connected directly.
* Noise may be generated as guitar pickups are brought closer to
the unit. If the noise is a problem, move the guitar away from
the BR-1180/1180CD.
MIC 2
This jack/connector is used for connecting mics.
The TRS jack accepts either balanced or unbalanced input.
The XLR connector accepts balanced input (pin 2 hot). This
connector also features optional phantom power + 48V (refer
to “Using condenser mics” (p. 137).
Use it when using a microphone to record an acoustic guitar,
or when recording a chorus in conjunction with MIC 1.
* When mics are connected both to the TRS jack and the XLR
connector, the input from the TRS jack overrides the other
input.
* The input from the GUITAR/BASS jack overrides the other
inputs when an instrument is plugged into the GUITAR/
BASS jack.
* If you are recording an electric acoustic guitar using a guitar
cable connection, use the GUITAR/BASS jack.
If you recorded/edited, or modified the settings of
the mixer section, etc.

out since the last time the current song was saved, as
well as the current mixer section settings and any
changes in the song patches (p. 51).
