CONNECTIONS
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
General guide on audio connections: Before turning on your amplifier,
make all audio connections. Always turn on the amplifier last, and when
shutting down, always turn off your amplifier or active speakers first.
E Using your Nord Electro 6 at high volumes can damage your
hearing.
HEADPHONES
1/4 inch stereo headphone jack. Audio is always output through the
Headphones output, regardless of Output Routing settings.
LEFT & RIGHT OUT
1/4 inch unbalanced line level outputs for amplifier or recording equip-
ment. The Nord Electro 6 is a stereo instrument with separate signal
paths for left and right audio channels.
When shipped, the Nord Electro 6 is configured to output all audio
through the Left & Right outputs. Refer to the System Menu section on
page 27 for other possible settings.
MONITOR IN
1/8 inch jack for connecting devices such as smartphones, tablets or
computers to the Nord Electro 6. This is useful for playing and rehears-
ing to pre-recorded music or a metronome, or to use an additional
sound source on stage. The Monitor In signal is routed to the Head-
phones and Left & Right outputs.
E The Nord Electro 6 Master Level control does not affect the level
of the Monitor In signal.

MIDI IN
The 5 pin MIDI In connection is used for receiving MIDI data sent from
external devices such as controller keyboards, sequencers and comput-
ers.
MIDI OUT

external sound modules and computers.
USB CONNECTION
The USB port is used for connecting the Nord Electro 6 to a computer.
The connection can be used for transferring MIDI, for OS updates and
for connecting to applications such as the Nord Sound Manager or
Nord Sample Editor. These applications, and the latest OS version can
always be found for download at www.nordkeyboards.com.

active at the same time. There is no need to choose between the
two options in a menu or similar.
