ENSONIQ SQ-R - Basic and Home Stereo Connections

SQ-R Musician's Manual
Section 1 - Getting Started
Temperature Guidelines
The inner workings of the SQ-R contain computerized and electronic circuitry that
can be susceptible to damage when exposed to extreme temperature changes.
^ With this in mind, please follow these guidelines when storing and setting up
your SQ-R:
• Avoid leaving the SQ-R in temperatures less than 50 degrees or more than 100
degrees Fahrenheit, or inside a vehicle exposed to direct sunlight.
• When bringing the SQ-R indoors after travel, allow the unit at least twenty
minutes to reach room temperature before powering up. In the case of
excessive outdoor temperatures (below 50 degrees or above 100 degrees),
allow an hour or more before power up.
Basic Connections
In order to use your SQ-R, it must receive MIDI information. The SQ-R receives
this information via its MIDI In Jack, located on the rear panel. Connect a
standard, 5-pin MIDI cable from the MIDI Out jack of a MIDI keyboard, or
alternative MIDI controller to the SQ-R's MIDI In jack. Make sure that the
controller is transmitting MIDI information, and that both the controller and the
SQ-R are set to the same MIDI channel (see Section 2 for more details).
Next, connect the Audio Outputs of the SQ-R to the line level inputs of a mixer,
instrument amplifier, or any other sound system using 1/4 inch audio cables. If
your system is stereo, connect the Left and Right Outputs to two channels of your
mixer, stereo, etc. If it's mono, use either of the Audio Outputs but make sure
nothing is plugged into the other output For listening through headphones, plug
the phones into the front-panel jack marked Pliones. If you're running the SQ-R
through a mixer, in stereo, be sure to pan the Left input fully left and the Right
r input fully right.

It is a good idea to turn your audio system off (or down) when making
connections to avoid damaging speakers or other components.
