Connecting Audio Equipment
The CP1 does not come with built-in speakers. In order to hear what you play, therefore, you will need to connect it to a
stereo system or to an amplifier and speakers. You can also plug a set of headphones into the headphones jack in order
to monitor the sound directly. External audio equipment can be connected in a number of different ways as described
below. Based on the diagrams shown, choose the connection format most suited to your setup.
CAUTION
To prevent hearing loss, avoid using headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time.
CAUTION
Ensure that other equipment being used with the CP1 is not turned on until all necessary connections have been made.
Monitoring with Amplifiers or Powered Speakers
A pair of keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers can be used to accurately reproduce the instrument’s rich sounds,
including pan and other widening effects. In this type of situation, connections to the amplifiers or speakers should be
made via the unbalanced [L/MONO] and [R] output jacks on the rear panel. If you would prefer to monitor your playing
using a single keyboard amplifier or powered speaker, the unbalanced [L/MONO] output jack should be used.
Listening via a Mixer
It is now commonplace for mixers to be connected to stage pianos used in recording and live performance
environments. In addition to the unbalanced jacks mentioned above, therefore, the CP1 also features a pair of
professional-use, balanced XLR connectors that prevent unwanted noise from entering signals. When connecting to a
mixer, we recommend that these balanced [L] and [R] output connectors be used.
NOTE • The sound output via the headphones is identical to that output via the unbalanced [L/MONO] and [R] output jacks or the balanced [L] and [R]
output connectors. Furthermore, you can use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial on the CP1 control panel to adjust the volume of the external audio
equipment or headphones.
• Plugging in or disconnecting a set of headphones has no effect on the sound being output via the unbalanced [L/MONO] and [R] output jacks
and the balanced [L] and [R] output connectors.
