To
produce
sound,
you
must
connect
the
V50
to
an
external
amp/speaker
system
or
use
a
pair
of
headphones.
This
section
shows
some
typical
setups.
(The
“amps”
in
the
diagram
refer
to
a
keyboard
amp
that
has
a
speaker
built
in.)
Note:
so can damage the amp.
Be
sure
to
turn
the
power
of
both
units
off
before
connecting
the
V50
to
the
amp.

Using two amps
When using two amps, connect the L/MONO output
jack to the amp for the left channel, and the R output
jack to the amp for the right channel.

Equipment
that
can
be
connected
to
the
V50
outputs
The example above uses keyboard amps (speakers
with built-in amps), but other types of equipment can
be connected to the V50 outputs, as follows.
e Combination amp/speaker units
e Multitrack recorders or cassette decks. However,
be sure to use the line inputs. Connecting the output
of the V50 to the mic inputs could damage the
equipment. When connecting to a cassette deck
etc., you will need an adaptor to convert the phone
plug into the pin plug that is found on most cassette
decks.
e
Mixers
(e.g.,
the
MV802
or
DMP7).
Be
sure
to
use
the
line
inputs.
10 introducing the V50
Here are some ways to connect other equipment to the
V50 using the MIDI terminals.
e Controlling the V50 from another MIDI device (a
keyboard
or
synthesizer
such
as
the
KX
or
DX
series).

There
are
many
other
ways
to
make
MIDI
connections,
depending
on
your
equipment
and
needs.
The
MIDI
THRU
terminal
re-transmits
the
MIDI
signals
received
at
MIDI
IN.
This
makes
it
possible
for
more
than
one
MIDI
device
to
be
controlled
at
once.
