4.4 Audio Connections and Levels

In the following chapters you will learn how to connect your guitar and your monitoring
system to the RIG KONTROL and how to set the right amplification levels both on the
hardware and on the software side of your setup.
Please start GUITAR RIG 4 before proceeding.

4.4.1 Connecting your Instrument and Adjusting the Input Level

1.
Turn down the volume on your monitoring system to prevent hearing damages.
2. Make sure the input selector is set to "Instrument" (button not depressed) except if
you are using a preamp to boost your signal to line level.
3. Plug the cable connected to your guitar or bass into one of the input jacks of the
RIG KONTROL .
4. Completely turn down the volume of the input channel you are not using.
Keep in mind that for an instrument that generates a stereo signal, such as a synthesizer
keyboard, you need to connect it to both input channels for stereo sound.
In order to achieve the best sound quality by providing the interface with a sufficiently
powerful signal, you need to carefully adjust the input level of the RIG KONTROL .
