This is the BNX3's digital output. The output signal is in a stereo digital format, and is intended to be
connected to a digital S/PDIF input found on other S/PDIF compatible devices and sound cards.
NOTE: Do not connect the S/PDIF output to analog auxiliary, CD, phono, or tape inputs on
consumer electronic devices. It is not compatible with these inputs.
13. MIDI In
This jack receives all incoming MIDI data. Connect this jack to the MIDI out of a computer,
sequencer, MIDI controller, or MIDI storage device.
14. MIDI Out/Thru
This jack sends MIDI data from the BNX3. Connect this jack to the MIDI in of a computer, or
external MIDI recording device. When enabled, MIDI Thru sends the same information the BNX3
received at the MIDI In.

This slot is used for memory card upgrades to increase the available recording time. The BNX3
supports 16, 32, 64, and 128 Megabyte SmartMedia™ cards.

Getting Started

Making Connections

The BNX3 has several different connection options. You can run mono into an amp or power amp,
stereo into two amps or a stereo power amp, direct into a mixing console, to a computer or S/PDIF
equipped device, or to a bi-amped bass amp system. Before connecting the BNX3, make sure both the
BNX3 and the amplifier are OFF. Connect the PSS3 to the power jack, on the back of the BNX3, and the
other end to an AC outlet. The following diagrams show some examples.
