1. Power Input: Connect a 12V DC, 2A power adapter (center pin positive) to this jack then into an
electrical outlet.
2. Power Adapter Restraint: You can secure a power adapter cable to this restraint to prevent it from
accidentally unplugging.
3. Power Switch: Turns MPC Renaissance's power on/off.
4. Computer USB Port: Use the included USB cable to connect this high-retention-force USB port to
an available USB port on your computer. This connection allows MPC Renaissance to send/receive
MIDI and audio data to/from the MPC software.
5. USB Hub Outputs: You can connect additional USB devices (controllers, hard drives, etc.) to these
powered, high-speed USB 2.0 ports. In addition to being an audio interface, these ports allow MPC
Renaissance to function as a powered USB hub when it is powered on.
6. Stereo Out: Connect these 1/4" TRS outputs to your speaker system (not included). The signal sent
out of these outputs is the main mix. In the MPC software, you can set what is routed to these
outputs in the Program Mixer tab, by selecting 1,2 as the Out for one pad or multiple pads.
7. Assignable Mix Out: Connect these 1/4" TRS outputs to an external mixer (not included). The
signal sent from these outputs is full-volume (0 dB). In the MPC software, you can set what is routed
to these outputs in the Program Mixer tab, by selecting 3,4 as the Out for one pad or multiple pads.
8. S/PDIF In/Out: Use standard RCA cables to connect these jacks to devices that can send/receive
digital audio.
9. Mic In: Connect an external sound source or microphone to these jacks using standard 1/4" TRS or
XLR cables. Make sure to set the Mic / Line Switch appropriately.
10. Mic / Line Switch: Set this switch appropriately for the device you connected to the Mic In jacks. If
your sound source is a microphone, set it to Mic. If your sound source is a line-level device, like an
external mixer or keyboard, set it to Line.
