Ground Terminal
Connect this to an external electrical ground.
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup,
you may experience a discomforting sensation, or
perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when
you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or
the metal portions of other objects, such as mics. This is
due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is
absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned
about this, connect the ground terminal with an
external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight
hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your
installation. If you are unsure of the connection method,
contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
"Information" page.
Unsuitable places for connection
● Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
● Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
● Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be
dangerous in the event of lightning)
