Setup

Here's how to connect the power cable and audio
cables, and how to turn on the power.
1. If you purchased the M3-61/73/88 (the M3-M with
the KYBD-61/73/88 keyboard assembly), you can
use your system with the M3-M (module) tilted
upward relative to the KYBD-61/73/88. Refer to the
"Keyboard assembly Manual" included with the
M3-61/73/88.
If you purchased the M3-M (module) by itself, you can
connect the included brackets and place the module at
an angle on a tabletop or other surface. Refer to the
"Connecting the brackets" document included with
the M3-M.
2. Connect the included power cable.
First connect the included power cable to the M3's
power connector.
3. Connect the M3 to your mix or monitor system.
Connect the M3's AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/
MONO and R jacks to your mixer or amplified monitor
speakers.
If you're monitoring through headphones, connect
them to the headphone jack located on the rear of the
M3. The headphones will output the same sound as the
AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R jacks.
