Audio connections
Headphones
This is where you connect a ¼" stereo connector from a pair of head-
phones.
Left Out and Right Out
The left and right line level outputs from the Nord Electro 4D are unbal-
anced. Use ¼" connectors to connect the Nord Electro 4D to an ampli-
fier or recording equipment.
The Nord Electro 4D is a stereo instrument, with separate signal paths
for the left and right audio channels. To properly experience the Electro
4D, use both outputs in a stereo operation.
The System functions allow you to separate the pianos/samples and
the organ sounds in the left and right outputs. Read more about this
functionality on page 17.
General guide on audio connections:
• Make all the connections before you turn on the power to your amplier.
• Turn on the power to your amplier last.
• Turn off the power to your amplier rst.
E Playing at a high volume level can result in hearing impairments
such as permanent hearing loss.
Monitor In
Use this to connect and monitor a signal from an mp3 or a CD player
at the Nord Electro 4D’s headphone output. This allows you to e.g.
rehearse with the Electro 4D to pre-recorded music.
M Signals connected to this input will not be processed with the
Electro 4D’s effects or appear at the Electro 4D’s left and right
output jacks.
MIDI Connections
MIDI In
MIDI connection used to receive MIDI data to the Nord Electro 4D from
other equipment such as keyboards or computers.
MIDI Out
MIDI connection used for sending keyboard and panel generated MIDI
data from the Nord Electro 4D to other equipment such as sound
modules or computers.
USB Connection
The USB connection is used for the Nord Electro 4D to communi-
cate with a personal computer in order to update the OS or to add or
replace any of the piano and/or sampled sounds. The computer can
run the Nord Sound Manager application, or be used to transfer the
operating system if the unit needs to be updated.
The Nord Electro 4D can also transmit and receive MIDI data via the
USB interface, read more about this in the MIDI chapter.
M Computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems need
a driver for the USB connection to work. The driver can be found
on the enclosed Nord DVD, or at the www.nordkeyboards.com
website.
