Connections; Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers; To Mixer; Controlling S08 From External Midi Device - Yamaha S08 Owner's Manual

Before connecting the S08 to other electronic components, turn off the power to all the components. Before turning the power on or
off to all components, set all volume levels to minimum(0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may occur.
Connecting to External
Audio Equipment
Since the S08 has no built-in speakers, you need to
monitor its sound output via external audio
equipment. Alternatively, you could use a pair of
headphones. There are several methods of connecting
to external audio equipment, as described in the
following illustrations.

Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers

A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the
S08's rich sounds with their own pan and effect
settings. Connect your powered speakers to the
OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear panel.

n When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the
OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.
Connecting to a Mixer
If you want to integrate the S08 into a larger system
with other instruments and additional audio
processing capabilities, connect it to a mixer, amplifier
and stereo monitor system as shown below.

n Connecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio
output from the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. The
audio output at the PHONES jack and the OUTPUT
jacks is exactly the same.

Connecting External MIDI
Equipment
You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI
cable (available separately) and control it from the S08.
You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or
sequencer to control the S08's internal sounds. This
section introduces several different MIDI applications.
n The HOST SELECT (UTILITY PAGE 13) should be set
to "MIDI." Otherwise, MIDI data will not be transmitted
from the S08's MIDI OUT connector.
