STEREO MIX
LINE OUTPUT

Starting out with your DP-01

External stereo input The DP has two 1/4" mono unbalanced jacks on the rear panel marked STEREO MIX.

These can be used to connect an external stereo suber, synthesizer, drum machine, CD player, etc.

This stereo signal is routed to the analog LINE OUTPUT jacks. They cannot be recorded on the DP nor can you adjust the signal level using the DP 01.

Digital output Use a standard optical digital cable to connect this (rear panel, close to the power switch) to a suitable digital stereo input of a mon itoring system, or stereo recorder.

The signals sent from this are the same as those sent from the

jacks (although the signals are not output through the digital output).

MIDI output Use this (rear panel) to connect a sequencer, drum machine, etc. which can be started, stopped and synchronized with the DP1. See “Working with MIDI” on page 38 for details.

You can connect a

digital recorder (CD, MD) using the digital connec- tion, while using the LINE OUTPUT jacks for monitoring.
