15.MIDI Out Port: This standard 5-pin MIDI connector transmits signals to any MIDI compatible device such as a synthesizer, sound module, or drum machine.

16.MIDI In Port: This standard 5-pin MIDI connector accepts signals from any MIDI compatible device such as a synthesizer or drum machine.

17.USB Port: The USB port handles all communication between Axiom Pro and your computer. Connect this jack to an available USB port on your computer.

✓NOTE: When using the USB connection, the controller is powered via the host computer and a power adapter is not required. Also note that USB hubs (particularly USB hubs that do not have a dedicated external power supply) may result in inadequate power being sent to Axiom Pro and are not recommended for use with M-Audio products.

19.Power Switch: This switch turns the controller on and off.

20.Kensington® Lock Connector: Connect a standard laptop-style locking security cable here to protect your Axiom Pro from theft.
