Connecting External Amplifiers And Other Devices - Roland KR-11 Owner's Manual

KR-11 Owner's Manual—Before using the KR-11
3.9 Connecting external
amplifiers and other devices
If the KR-11's amplification system doesn't deliver
enough power for your application, you can take
advantage of its OUTPUT jacks.
Sending audio to external equipment
Before connecting the KR-11 to another piece of
equipment, turn off the power to both devices.
If you wish to amplify the KR-11 through an external
system, or record your music using a tape recorder,
connect the KR-11's OUTPUT jacks to the AUX IN,
LINE IN or CH IN jacks of the external (keyboard)
amplifier, mixer or tape deck.
To the AUX IN/LINE IN jacks of the external amplifier/
mixer, etc.
Note: If you are connecting the KR-11 to a device with a
monaural input, be sure to use the L/MONO jack.
Note: For cassette decks or HiFi amplifiers, you need audio
leads with mono jacks at one end and (usually) RCA/cinch
jacks at the other.

After connecting the KR-11 to the amplifier, etc., be
sure to switch on the KR-11 and the external device(s)
in the following sequence:
1. First turn on the power to the KR-11.
2. Then turn on the power to the mixing console,
amp, etc. (in that order).
Receiving audio signals from external sources
You can connect the audio outputs of an external
MIDI instrument, CD or cassette player, etc., to the
INPUT jacks. That has the advantage that such signals
can be amplified by the KR-11 and are therefore also
present in the headphones (if connected).
To connect an external signal source, follow the
instructions above but be sure to connect the LINE
OUT, etc., jacks of the external source to the KR-11's
INPUT jacks.
From the LINE OUT, etc., jacks of the external instru-
ment, CD player, etc.
