Connections - Kawai K5000S Owner's Manual

CONNECTIONS

Naturally, the first thing you ought to do with your K5000S is plug it in!
POWER
Using the cable provided, connect the POWER jack to an AC outlet.
AUDIO
There are two pairs of audio output jacks on the back, plus the PHONES jack on the
front (in front of the Pitch Bend wheel). This gives you a few choices, depending on
what you're connecting to:
SOLO PLAY
Just plug your headphones into the PHONES jack on the front and go at it. There's
plenty of power for phones. Use the MAIN volume slider to control the volume.
INSTRUMENT AMPLIFIER
If you are plugging into an amp, connect the MAIN L/MONO output jack on the
rear panel to your amplifier. All sounds will be mixed to this single cable.
STEREO SYSTEM
To connect to a music system or amplified speakers, use the two MAIN outputs (L &
R) to get stereo. You'll need adapters or adapting cable to convert the 1/4" Phone
jacks on the K5000S to the RCA pin jacks on your stereo. Make sure to connect the
K5000S to a LINE, AUX, or TAPE input on your stereo.
MIXING CONSOLE
If you've got more than two inputs available, by all means connect the two MAIN
outputs and the two INDIVidual outputs to your mixer. In this way, you can route
certain sounds (piano, strings) through the reverb unit to the Main Outputs; and
send others (bass drum, bass guitar) directly to the INDIVidual outputs without
reverb, or for special studio processing.
When connections are made to the INDIVidual output jacks, the INDIVidual
volume slider on the front panel becomes active. You can adjust each pair of
outputs independently.
PEDALS
HOLD
Connect a Hold pedal to the HOLD jack on the rear panel. Use a Momentary On
footswitch, like the Kawai model F-1. This acts like a piano-style damper pedal,
sustaining after releasing keys.
EXPRESSION
You can connect a Volume pedal (Kawai model V-20X) to the EXPression jack on
the rear panel.
