| Connecting a mic and playing with this instrument
Connecting a mic
1 Make sure that the Audio In function is off (the AUDIO IN button on the front panel should be
dark).
2 Connect a mic to the AUDIO INPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.
3 Set the AUDIO INPUT MIC/LINE switch on the rear panel to the “MIC” position.
4 Press the AUDIO IN button on the front panel to activate the Audio In function.
The AUDIO IN button lights up, and the mic’s audio signal is output via AUDIO OUTPUT.
When you connect a mic or other sound source to the AUDIO INPUT L/MONO jack only, the audio
signal is output from both the AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R jacks (monaural sound).
Tip: When you want to talk to the audience in between songs, you can smoothly switch the mic audio on/off with
the AUDIO IN button, without touching the mic.
5 Adjust the mic volume with the AUDIO INPUT LEVEL knob while checking the output audio via
AUDIO OUTPUT.
You should adjust the mic audio volume to avoid distortion.
Configuring the mic output level and effects
1 Press the AUDIO IN and SYSTEM buttons on the front panel at the same time to set the output
level and configure the effects.
The Audio In parameters are shown in the display.
2 Press the  button to select “Output Level”, and use the value dial or the +/- buttons to set the
output level.
The default output level is 75.
Note: To adjust the volume balance between the mic and the programs, use this Output Level setting and the slid-
ers in the PART CONTROL section.
