Preparations

1-2. Input (audio input) connections

The D1200 has four channels of analog input and one (two- channel) digital input jack.

1. Connections

Here are some examples of basic connections for recording with the D1200. As necessary, substitute the equipment you are using for the devices named here.

CDRW-1 connections

For details on installing the CDRW-1 CD-R/RW drive option, refer to p.149.

You must make all connections with the power turned off. Making connections with the power turned on may damage your speaker system or cause malfunctions.

1-1. Output (audio output) connections

In order to hear the sounds recorded on the D1200, you will need to connect it to a monitor speakers (speakers with an internal amp) or other audio equipment, or use headphones.

Connecting audio equipment for monitoring

•Use RCA phono cables to connect monitor speakers to the [MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks.

•If you will use headphones for monitoring, connect your headphones (with a phone plug) to the [PHONES] jack. Use the [PHONES LEVEL] knob to adjust the volume.

The audio signal that is output from the [MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks and the [PHONES] jack can be selected in the [INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] “Monitor” tab page. (→ p.100)

Connecting a guitar

• Guitar or bass guitar ↔ [GUITAR IN] jack

•	Mic (XLR) ↔ [INPUT 1],
		1: GND
	[INPUT 2], phantom power	3: COLD
Connecting a keyboard
•	Synthesizer etc. ↔ [INPUT
	1]–[INPUT 4] jacks

Connecting audio devices

•Sub input

For details on how to specify the mixer channel to which the input audio will be sent, and how to audi- tion the input signal, refer to p.22.

•A guitar or bass guitar routed through a compact effects device can be connected to the [INPUT 1]– [INPUT 4] jacks.

•If you want to use a stereo input, select two adjacent inputs (1–2 or 3–4) so that you can perform track editing more efficiently.

If you are recording from a mic, place the mic sufficiently far from the D1200 so that it does not pick up noise.

Connections for digital recording

• Digital output jack of a DAT or MD with an optical digital (S/P DIF) output ↔ [S/P DIF IN] of the D1200 (use an optical digital cable for connections)

For details on how to specify the mixer channel to which the input audio will be sent, and how to audition the input signal, refer to p.35.
