AUX IN jack
• The AUX IN jack, located on the rear of the
instrument, can be used to connect an external
stereo signal source to the SILENT Bass™.
Connecting the audio output of a CD player,
cassette player, etc. to the instrument allows
you to play along with the external audio
source.
• The AUX IN jack’s signal level can be con-
trolled with the AUX IN level control.
• The VOLUME control is used to adjust the
total level of the output signal. This signal
contains the AUX IN signal that is controled
by the AUX IN level control knob too.
■
LINE OUT jack
• The /LINE OUT jack located on the rear
panel provides stereo output for the SILENT
Bass™ (the bass signal is mono while the
AUX IN signal is stereo).
When a device other than headphones is used
for monitoring the instrument, use an optional
stereo phone plug cable (or monaural phone
plug cable) to connect the instrument to the
audio input jack of a bass amplier, external
powered speaker, mixing console, etc., to lis-
ten from external audio equipment or record-
ing. You can also connect this jack to the IN-
PUT jack on an electronic tuner and tune the
SILENT Bass™ like an electronic instrument
using the instrument’s output signal.
• Before connecting the SILENT Bass™ to any external devices, make sure that the power of
all related devices is turned OFF. Set the volume level of any external audio sources to the
minimum level before connecting anything. High volume settings could cause damage to
the equipment and your hearing.
• If a connection cord is unplugged while the power is ON, it may result in damage to the
equipment. The sudden shock to your ears may be great, so please use with care.
• Be careful not to step on the cord. The cord may break, equipment may be damaged, and
this may cause a substantial shock to your ears.
• The signal from the SILENT Bass™’s output jacks must NEVER be returned to the AUX IN
jack, either directly or through external equipment. Doing so will result in feedback which
may cause damage to the internal electronics.
• When a powered speaker is connect to the
/LINE OUT jack, speakers with inadequate
power ratings may distort due to the low frequencies produced by the instrument. For suf-
ficient headroom, used powered speakers with a power rating of 50 watts or more.
