Setting Up the SP6
1. If your SP6 keyboard has been out in the cold during shipping, give it time to warm up
to room temperature before powering it on, since condensation may have formed inside.
2. Place the SP6 on a keyboard stand or on a hard, flat, level surface.
3. Connect the DC power adaptor to the SP6 DC Power jack.
4. Make sure your power outlet is compatible with the included power adaptor, then plug the
power cable into the power outlet.
5. Plug the included Switch Pedal into the SW1 (SUSTAIN) jack on the SP6 rear panel.
6. If you have an additional switch pedal, plug it into the SW2 jack for sostenuto control.
7. If you have a MIDI CC pedal (also known as a MIDI expression or volume pedal), plug it
into the CC (VOLUME) jack for volume control.
8. If you are using speakers, turn the master volume all the way down on your amplifier
or mixer. Using standard (1/4-inch) audio cables, first plug into the input jacks of your
amplifier or mixer, then plug the other end of the cables into the SP6 AUDIO OUT
jacks. (Connecting in this order minimizes the possibility of static discharge damage.) For
a mono signal, only use the LEFT (MONO) jack, and leave the RIGHT jack unplugged.
Balanced ("TRS" or "Stereo") cables are recommended if your mixer or amp supports
balanced inputs.
9. If you are using headphones, connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack on the rear
panel.
10. Turn the SP6 VOLUME knob (on the far left side of the front panel) to MIN.
Powering On the SP6
1. Power on the SP6 by pressing the POWER button on the right rear panel.
2. If you are using speakers, turn up the volume on your amplifier or mixer.
3. Slowly turn up the SP6 VOLUME knob and play some notes to check the volume level.
(If you have a CC pedal plugged into the CC (VOLUME) jack, make sure it is set to the
maximum volume position).
4. If you are using speakers and the SP6 is not loud enough, turn up the volume on your
amplifier or mixer.
