Grounding terminal

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a

discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when

you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other

objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is

absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground

terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight

hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure

of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an

authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Power switch

Used to switch the power on (DC IN) or off (OFF), and for

switching to bus power (BUS).

BUS

The FA-66 can operate on bus power if it’s connected to your

computer via a 6-pin

↔

6-pin FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable.

In this case, power is supplied from your computer via the

FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable. If you want to use bus power, set

the power switch to the BUS position.

fig.6-pin

• 6-pin type

You can use bus power if your computer has a 6-pin IEEE 1394 connector

(FireWire connector, iLink connector, DV connector).

* With some computers, the FA-66 may not operate on bus power. If so, connect the

included AC adaptor to an AC outlet and use it to supply power to the FA-66. In this

case, the power will be on when you set the power switch to the DC IN position.

fig.4-pin

• 4-pin type

If your computer has a 4-pin FireWire (IEEE 1394) connector, you cannot use bus

power. Connect the included AC adaptor to the AC adaptor jack, and set the

power switch to DC IN.
