Hooking Up Your MPC500

The following diagram demonstrates how the MPC500 can be integrated into your recording setup. Note that the diagram below uses every
connector on the MPC and that your setup may vary from the one shown.
For analog connections, use ¼" audio cables. For MIDI connections, use 5-pin MIDI cables. For USB connections, use a standard USB
cable.
The MPC500 is a pseudo balanced audio device. Use "Balanced" or "TRS" cables wherever possible to maximize sound quality,
but no volume degradation will occur when using standard "TS"type cables.
