Audio connections

Connecting your output devices
The KROSS does not contain built-in speakers. In order to
hear the sound of your performance, you'll need to connect
other audio equipment such as a monitor amplifier, a mixer,
a stereo set or headphones.
Connecting audio equipment
The KROSS's audio output is designed to produce a
signal level that is higher than consumer audio
equipment such as CD players. For this reason,
performing at high a volume may damage your speakers
or equipment. Please use caution when adjusting the
volume.
1. Minimize the volume of all connected equipment, and
turn off the power.
2. Connect the KROSS's OUTPUT L/MONO and R
jacks to the input jacks of your monitor amplifier or
mixer.
Note: If you connect only the L/MONO jack, the L and R
sound will be mixed for monaural output. In order to take
full advantage of the KROSS's capabilities, we
recommend that you listen in stereo.
If you're playing back through your stereo audio system
or a cassette-radio that has external input connectors,
connect the KROSS to the jacks that are marked LINE
IN, AUX IN, or external input. (You might need to obtain
the appropriate adapter plug or conversion cable.)
Connecting headphones
Using headphones at high volume for an extended time
may cause hearing damage. Please avoid excessively
high volume levels.

Connections to computers
1. Connect the stereo mini-plug
of your headphones to the
KROSS's Headphone jack.
2. Use the VOLUME knob to
adjust the headphone
volume.
The KROSS's Headphone jack
will output the same signal as
the OUTPUT L/MONO and R
jacks.
The output from the OUTPUT jack is not turned off even
if headphones are connected to the Headphone jack.
Connecting your input devices
You can sing while applying the built-in effects of the
KROSS to your mic, or connect an audio player and perform
along with the playback.
You can also use the audio recorder to record the audio
input.
If you're not using the MIC IN or LINE IN jacks, turn
the AUDIO IN button off (unlit).
Connecting a mic
1. Make sure that the AUDIO IN button is off (unlit).
2. Turn the VOLUME knob of the KROSS all the way to
the left, minimizing the volume.
3. Connect a dynamic mic to the MIC IN jack.
Note: This jack does not support condenser mics or other
mics that require phantom power or plug-in power. Such
types of mic must be connected via a mic amp.
4. Turn the AUDIO IN button on (lit) to enable the
input.
5. While vocalizing into the mic and playing the
keyboard of the KROSS, slowly turn the VOLUME
knob toward the right until both are at the
appropriate volume.
The volume of the mic may differ depending on the
effect settings of the program or combination that's
selected.
