configuration will be able to take advantage
of the numerous
flanger/chorus and
delay
units on the market. A little
reverb
does a lot to
enliven a synthesizer.
Speakers ought to be capable of handling the full amplifier
power
over the full audio
range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) without breaking up. If it
is
not practical
to use
amplifiers
and
speakers specifically designed for electronic instruments or if volume must
be
kept
low,
using
your
stereo
system will
generally
give
good
high-frequency
response. But if
you
do this, be careful. Continuous playing of sustained synthesizer notes can cause
component amplifiers to overheat. Furthermore, the dynamic range of the Prophet-600
places stereo
component
speakers at some risk,
because of powerful bass notes
and
transients which will damage them if the volume is set too high.

AUDIO
OUTPUT
CAUTION! To protect
speakers, switch amplifier power off when
connecting the Prophet-600's audio output.
To drive a preamp or amp, a standard monophonic cable can be used. Or if there are
two audio destinations (perhaps one to remain "dry" while the other is processed), a
stereo cable may be more convenient.
The Prophet-600 has a monophonic output signal, but the jack is wired so that both
sides of standard
stereo
headphones
can be driven. The
headphones
should have a
minimum impedance of 1200 Ohms per element (600 Ohms, in parallel).

FOOTSWITCH
A footswitch
is
included which
frees your hands from
various
control functions which
are explained elsewhere. On units with
serial
numbers
1 through
75
the footswitch jack
is located to the far left (see Figure
1-0).
The jack is placed near the CASSETTE jacks
on subsequent units.
Electrically, the footswitch
is
normally open?
and closes
when
pressed.

CASSETTE
1. Connect CASSETTE IN
to
recorder
output (EAR, MONITOR, LINE OUT).
2. Connect TO
TAPE
to recorder input (MIC, LINE IN).
Cassette interface operations are explained in Section 8.
