Introduction to KRONOS
22
2. Analog audio input connections
You can bring external analog audio sources into the
KRONOS for sampling, recording, or processing through
the internal effects.
AUDIO INPUT 1, 2
These two inputs use 1/4” TRS balanced jacks, and include
preamps with adjustable gain. To set up the audio inputs:
1. Connect your mics or the output jacks of your
external audio sources to the INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.
2. Set the MIC/LINE switch as appropriate for the
device you’ve connected, and use the LEVEL knob to
adjust the gain.
Choose the LINE setting (switch pressed inward) if you’ve
connected a mixer, computer, audio system, signal processor,
or another synthesizer. For best results, use balanced line
connections.
Note: Guitars with active pickups can be connected directly.
Guitars with passive pickups (i.e., guitars that do not have an
internal preamp) can be used, but the impedance mismatch
will cause both a change in tone and a reduction in volume.
For best results, route such guitars through a pre-amp or
effects unit before connecting them.
Choose the MIC setting (switch in the outward position)
only when connecting a mic. Note that some microphones,
such as condensers, may require external phantom power,
which is not supplied by the KRONOS.
3. Adjust the output level on any connected external
equipment.
4. After turning on the power, use the Audio Input page
to set up the volume, pan, bus routing, and send levels
for the inputs, as desired.
For more information, see “0–8: Audio Input/Sampling” on
page 19 of the Parameter Guide.
3. Digital audio input/output
connections
Digital audio output
The KRONOS main stereo output can be digitally
transmitted to an audio system, digital mixer, or other device
that can accept a sampling rate of 48 kHz.
• Use an optical cable to connect the S/P DIF OUT
(MAIN) jack to the optical digital input jack of your
device.
This will carry the same audio signal as the AUDIO
OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R jacks.
Note: The MAIN VOLUME knob doesn’t affect the volume
of the digital output.
