USB A connection for attaching an external USB light source, useful for
illuminating the CL-12 surface in low light conditions.
USB A connection for attaching a peripheral USB keyboard, which can be
used for control and entering metadata. This port may also be used to
connect third-party systems for wireless remote control of 6-Series mixers.
When using an external keyboard, first ensure MENU > System> USB Port is
i
set to USB Host/Keyboard before plugging in the keyboard.
A ¼-inch headphone jack for connecting the CL-12 to the mixer's ¼-inch
headphone output, making it possible to monitor audio directly from the
front of the CL-12.
Use the supplied ¼-inch to ¼-inch cable, which adds a low-resistance
ground connection to the CL-12 chassis for extra robustness between the
mixer and the CL-12 in the event of static shock.
Connect a micro USB power cord (not included with the CL-12) to this port
(5V) on the CL-12 is required for connecting a CL-12 to either a 664 or
633.
When using a CL-12 with a 688, this port is optional, but recommended
for providing additional DC power when necessary, such as for powering a
high-current-draw USB keyboard. Connecting additional power to this port
will also allow for brighter illumination of the CL-12's buttons and LEDs.
Connect this USB port on the CL-12 to the mixer's USB B port by using the
supplied USB cable. This connection provides both control and power to the
CL-12.
When the CL-12 is connected, any CL-6 attached to the mixer is disabled.
