ENSONIQ SQ-R User Manual

Section 1 - Getting Started SQ-R Musician's Manual
Warning: The SQ-R outputs are line-level and are intended to be connected only to line-level
inputs such as those on a mixer, stereo pre-amp, keyboard amp, etc. Connecting
the SQ-R audio outputs to a mic-level input, such as a guitar amp or the
microphone jacks on a tape deck is not recommended and might result in damage
to the device input.
Switch the audio system on and adjust the amplifier volume for normal listening
levels. If you hear no sound while playing the keyboard, switch the audio system
off and check your connections.
Running Your SQ-R Through a Home Stereo System
If you are thinking about amplifying your SQ-R through your home stereo, a
word of caution is in order. A home stereo is great for playing CD's, albums,
tapes — the dynamic range of these media is limited, and your speakers aren't
usually subjected to extreme volume changes and frequency transients. While the
dynamic range of CD's is significantly greater than LP's or tapes, the output of a
CD player is still conservative compared to the uncompressed, unlimited line-level
output of a pro-level keyboard. Running your SQ-R — or any pro-level
keyboard — tlirough a home stereo at high volume levels can damage your
speakers. If your only means of amplification is your home stereo, then try to
keep your levels on the conservative side.
