Connections—Using Your Instrument with
Other Devices
This chapter covers the connections of this instrument to other devices. To see where the connectors are located
on the instrument, refer to pages 18–21.
CAUTION
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all components. Also,
before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, dam-
age to the components, electrical shock, or even permanent hearing loss may occur.

Connecting a Microphone ([MIC INPUT] jack)

By connecting a microphone, you can sing along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback, as well as
record your vocal performance to an Audio Song. Make sure you have a dynamic microphone or a condenser micro-
phone.
About Dynamic and Condenser Microphones
• A dynamic microphone reduces vibration noise, making it good for live performances. Power is not required.
• A condenser microphone is mainly used for vocals and other instruments in environments such as a recording studio,
since it is more sensitive to delicate sounds. For this reason, you need to take greater care to minimize vibrations than
with a dynamic microphone. The condenser microphone requires phantom power supply (+48V), which it receives
from Genos by connecting with an XLR connector.
Connecting a microphone to the instrument
