Connecting To Other Devices - Kawai Concert Artist CA58 Owner's Manual

Connecting to Other Devices

The CA58 digital piano features a variety of jacks that allow the instrument to be connected to MIDI devices,
computers, speakers, and mixers. It is also possible to connect external audio sources, such as an MP3 player, tablet,
or a secondary keyboard, to the instrument's amplifier and speaker system. The illustration below provides a visual
overview of the connectors and their typical applications.
Connect the audio from
other devices to the
instrument's speakers.
Before connecting the CA58 digital piano to other devices, ensure that the power to both the instrument and the
other device is turned off. If connections are established while the power is turned on, extraneous noise that can
damage the CA58 digital piano may activate the instrument's amplifier protection circuit, preventing any sound
from being produced. If this occurs, turn the power off and then on again to reset the amplifier protection circuit.
Do not connect the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the CA58 digital piano together with the same cable. An audio
loop (oscillation sound) will occur, resulting in damage to the unit.
