Stereo

For stereo operation connect the guitar to the input of the RP21D. Connect from the RP21D’s Left/Mono output to the input of one amplifier or channel of a power amp. Connect from the Right output of the RP21D to a second amplifier, or to a second channel of a power amp.

NOTE: The RP21D is a preamp. Running The RP21D signal into the input of a combo guitar amplifier will preamplify the signal again adding noise and possibly feedback. When using a guitar amp, it is best to connect the guitar to the input of the RP21D and the output of the RP21D to the effect return of the amplifier.

Direct to a Mixing Console

The RP21D can be connected directly to the inputs of a house PA system, or to a recording console. Connect the guitar to the input of the RP21D, and from the outputs of the RP21D to the channel inputs of the mixing console. Be sure to engage the RP21D’s Cabinet Emulator in this application. See page 46 for more on selecting the Cabinet Emulator.

Digital Output

The RP21D includes a digital S/PDIF output enabling you to eliminate multiple analog to digital, and digital to analog conversions when recording digitally. Simply connect from the S/PDIF output of the RP21D to the S/PDIF input on your digital mixer or recorder. The RP21D will deliver a digital signal to your digital mixer or recorder. You must have S/PDIF inputs on the receiving device in order to use this output. You may use the analog and digital outputs of the RP21D simultaneously.

ATTENTION: Do not connect this output to analog auxilary, CD, phono, or tape inputs on consumer electronic devices. It is not compatible with these inputs.
