10.1Cables

Below you will find an overview of all cables you need to connect your digital piano. The cables are not supplied with the piano.

Depending on the intended use, adapter cables will be necessary to interface the various connectors. You can use adapter cables or plugs (e.g. 1/4" to cinch). Cable adapters are better than adapter plugs, as the latter may affect the signal quality due to insufficient contact of the plugs with each other.

10.1.1 Unbalanced 1/4" cable

Unbalanced 1/4" cables are equipped with a 1/4" TS plugs at each end. They are used to connect external keyboard amps and devices with 1/4" outputs (e.g. synthesizers, drum computers) to the EG2080.

10.1.2 RCA cables

RCA cables are often used for hi-fi applications to connect CD players, MD recorders and other devices to home stereo systems. You will need this type of cable to connect the EG2080 to hi-fi recording equipment. Usually, these cables are supplied in pairs to form one stereo cable. The plugs are in most cases red (right) and white (left). Make sure that the wiring between recording device and EG2080 follows this color code, so as not to mix up the left/right signals.

10.1.3 1/4" to RCA cable

1/4" to RCA cables are required for connecting a hi-fi playback device (e.g. CD player) to the EG2080. As an alternative, you can also use an unbalanced 1/4" cable with an appropriate RCA adapter.

10.1.4 MIDI cables

MIDI cables are required for connecting MIDI equipment. These cables have a 5-pin DIN plug at each end. Be sure to use cables marked as MIDI cables (wiring as shown), since there are also similar cables with a different wiring available for hi-fi equipment. MIDI cable lengths should be as short as possible. Avoid cable lengths exceeding 10 m, as these could lead to errors during the transmission of signals.
