74 MM6/MM8 Owner’s Manual
Since the MM6/MM8 has no built-in speakers, it must be connected to an external amplifier and speakers,
headphones, or other sound output device.

■Connecting to Powered Speakers or Monitor Speakers.● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

For optimum, accurate reproduction of the instrument’s rich sounds with effects and full stereo imaging,
use a pair of powered speakers. Connect the powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on
the rear panel.

This type of connection lets you play an external MIDI tone generator (tone generator module, etc.) from
the MM6/MM8 keyboard, or by playing back the MM6/MM8 songs or patterns.
Use this connection when you want the external instrument to sound as well as the MM6/MM8.
In order to play the external tone module in this type of setup, the MIDI receive channel of the tone module
must be set to the same channel as the MM6/MM8 MIDI transmit channel.
The MM6/MM8 transmit channels are fixed, as shown below.
