Extra information on jacks and connectors
Output jacks and connectors
These jacks and connectors are used to output audio from the
BR-1600CD.
LINE OUT jacks
The LINE OUT jacks (stereo RCA phono plug type) are used
to output audio in stereo and at line level. The BR-1600CD’s
playback audio, performance of drum, bass, Loop Phrase,
and monitored input will all be mixed into this output signal.
In addition, playback from the CD-R/RW drive built into the
BR-1600CD will also be output here. Use the LINE OUT jacks
to make connections with external audio amplifiers.
Note that the audio output via the LINE OUT jack is also
output via the PHONES 1 jack.
DIGITAL OUT connector
This coaxial-type connector is used to output digital audio
signals, and its output is identical to that of the LINE OUT
jack.
Since digital signals do not suffer from the same type of
deterioration as occurs in analog lines, they can be recorded
without degradation in the quality of your audio on external
digital audio devices such as CD-R, MD, and DAT recorders.
In addition, if you are using Roland DS-30A Bi-Amp Monitor
to monitor your sound, audio signals can be output to the
speakers via this connector.
It is important to note that standard audio cables cannot be
used with the DIGITAL OUT connector and that a
commercially available digital-audio cable or video cable
should be used for this purpose.
PHONES 1 and PHONES 2 jack
Allow you to connect a pair of headphones (with a 1/4”
phone stereo plug).
MIDI connectors
The BR-1600CD features both MIDI OUT and MIDI IN
connectors in order that MIDI data may be transmitted and
received.
MIDI IN connector
This 5-pin DIN type connector is used to receive MIDI data
from other MIDI devices such as rhythm machines and
sequencers. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external
device to this connector using a MIDI cable.
MIDI OUT connector
This 5-pin DIN type connector is used to transmit MIDI data
from the BR-1600CD. Connect the MIDI IN connector of
external MIDI devices such as rhythm machines, sequencers,
and sound modules to this connector using a MIDI cable.
In order to ensure that the BR-1600CD operates correctly,
do not create such a loop by, for example, connecting a
single MIDI cable between its MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
connectors. A MIDI loop is created when MIDI data
transmitted from a MIDI OUT connector is returned
without modification to the MIDI IN connector in the
same system, and this can cause devices to operate
abnormally.
