Be sure to turn off the power of all devices before mak- ing connections. Failing to take this precaution may cause your speaker system to be damaged, or may cause malfunctions.

Connecting the AC adapter

Connect the included AC adapter.

After you have connected the AC adapter to the MS2000/ MS2000R, plug it into an AC outlet.

Connecting external devices

Connect the OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO, R) of the MS2000/ MS2000R to your audio system (mixer, powered monitor system etc.).

In order to take full advantage of the potential of the MS2000/MS2000R, we recommend that you use stereo out- put.

If you are making monaural connections, use the L/MONO jack.

Connecting pedals and switches

By connecting a volume pedal and a switch pedal you can expand your performance possibilities.

Connect a pedal and/or switch pedal as necessary. You can set the polarity of the pedal in Global mode Page 6: PEDAL&SW. (☞Parameter guide p.56)

a. ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack

If you wish to use a pedal to control breath control, volume, pan, or expression, connect an EXP-2 expression pedal (sold separately) or an XVP-10 EXP/VOL pedal (sold sepa- rately) etc.

The function that will be controlled is determined by the “A.Pedal” setting in Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL&SW (☞Parameter guide p.56). With the factory settings, this is set to Exp Pdl.

Monitor speakers

(amplified)

b. ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack

If you wish to use a pedal switch to change programs, to change the octave up/down, or to turn portamento or the arpeggiator on/off, connect a PS-1 switch pedal (sold sepa- rately) or DS-1H damper pedal (sold separately). The func- tion that will be controlled is determined by the “A.SwFunc” setting in Global mode Page 6B: PEDAL&SW (☞Parameter guide p.56). With the factory settings, this is set to Damper.
