K

AC IN (AC Inlet)
Connect the included power cable here. (Quick Start; p. 11)

L (MIDI)

MIDI Connectors (IN 1/2, OUT, THRU)
These connectors connect the XV-5080 with other MIDI
devices, enabling the sending and receiving of MIDI
messages. (Quick Start; p. 11)
IN 1, 2: Receive messages from other MIDI devices.
OUT: Transmits messages to a MIDI device.
THRU: MIDI messages received at MIDI IN 1 are re-
transmitted without change from this connector.

M (OUTPUT)

A (MIX) OUTPUT Jacks (L (MONO), R)
These jacks send audio signals in stereo (L/R) from the XV-
5080 to an amp or mixer. For mono output, use the L jack.
(Quick Start; p. 11)
These jacks are used when the SYSTEM SETUP Mix/Parallel
parameter is set to “MIX.” (p. 109, p. 112, p. 116, p. 118)
* The XV-5080, as shipped from the factory, routes the output of
all PRESET Patches to these jacks.

N (OUTPUT)

B, C, D OUTPUT Jacks (L, R)
These jacks send audio signals in stereo (L/R) from the XV-
5080 to an amp or mixer. (Quick Start; p. 11)

O (OUTPUT)

1–8 INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT Jacks
These jacks output audio signals in mono to an amp or
mixer. (Quick Start; p. 11)

P (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT)

R-BUS (RMDB 2) Connector (OUTPUT A-
D/1-8)
8-out 24 bit digital audio connector. Use this for connecting
to the device such as Roland VM-3100Pro and DIF-AT.
Only the R-BUS devices listed in the Owner’s Manual may be
connected to the R-BUS (RMDB2) connector. Be careful not to
connect any other devices (such as SCSI-type devices, RS-
232C-type devices, parallel-type devices, etc.) even though
they have similar-looking connectors. Use only a specially
designed R-BUS (RMDB2) cable to make connections.
RMDB II, RMDB 2, and R-BUS refer to the same Roland
standard.
WORD CLOCK IN Connector (44.1/48
kHz)
This is a connector for input of the word clock used for
synchronizing external digital devices (BNC type). (p. 124)
* The XV-5080’s digital out is not compatible with sampling
frequencies (word clock) other than 44.1 or 48 kHz.
