Connecting Audio Equipment
Your CP5 or CP50 does not come with built-in speakers. In order to hear what you play, therefore, you will need to
connect it to a stereo system or to an amplifier and speakers. You can also plug a set of headphones into the
headphones jack in order to monitor the sound directly. External audio equipment can be connected in a number of
different ways, some of which are described below. Based on the diagrams shown, choose the connection format most
suited to your setup.
CAUTION
To prevent hearing loss, avoid using headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time.
NOTICE
Whenever connecting external audio equipment, ensure that the volume on all devices is turned fully down.
Output via Amplifiers or Powered Speakers
Using a pair of keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers, you can accurately reproduce the full richness of CP5 or CP50
sounds, including pan and other widening effects. In this type of situation, connections to the amplifiers or speakers
should be made via the unbalanced [L/MONO] and [R] output jacks on the rear panel. If you would prefer to monitor your
playing using a single keyboard amplifier or powered speaker, the unbalanced [L/MONO] output jack should be used.
Headphones
Output via a Mixer
It is commonplace for mixers to be connected to stage pianos used in recording and live performance environments. In
addition to the unbalanced jacks mentioned above, the CP5 also features a pair of professional-use, balanced XLR
connectors that prevent unwanted noise from entering output signals. When connecting a mixer, we recommend that
these balanced [L] and [R] output connectors be used. As the CP50 does not feature balanced output connectors, the
unbalanced [L/MONO] and [R] output jacks should be used in such a case.

NOTE •
The sound output via the headphones is identical to that output via the unbalanced [L/MONO] and [R] output jacks or the balanced [L] and [R]
output connectors. Accordingly, you can use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial on the stage piano's control panel to adjust the volume of both external
audio equipment and the headphones.
•
Plugging in or disconnecting a set of headphones has no effect on the sound being output via the unbalanced [L/MONO] and [R] output jacks
and the balanced [L] and [R] output connectors.
