22 EUROGRAND EG2280USB/EG8280USB User Manual
LINE IN jacks6.1.1
The LINE IN jacks can be used to connect external sound sources such as
CD players, DVD players, or external sound modules that are being controlled by
the EG2280USB/EG8280USB’s MIDI function (see fig. 6.3). The following diagram
shows a wiring example comprising the EG2280USB/EG8280USB and a CD player.
You need one or two cables fitted with RCA plugs (see chapter 9.1.3). As an
alternative, you can also use a ¼" cable with an appropriate adapter plug.

Connect the outputs of the CD player to the LINE IN jacks of the 1)
EG2280USB/EG8280USB.
AUX IN jack6.1.2
This /" jack is ideal for the connection of MP3 players, portable CD players,
MD players, etc. Most applications will require a /" TRS cable, but adaptors may
also be used.
MIC IN jack6.1.3
Connect a microphone to the MIC IN jack using a standard XLR cable. You may use
dynamic (handheld) or condenser microphones. The jack always supplies 15 V of
phantom power to enable the use of most condenser mics.
Adjust the input signal of the microphone with the GAIN knob. If your voice
begins to distort, turn the GAIN knob down.
NOTE: The internal effects do not affect the microphone input.
Connection to amplifiers and 6.2
recording equipment
The EG2280USB/EG8280USB is equipped with LINE OUT connectors for connecting
the digital piano to external keyboard amplifiers, P.A. systems or home stereo
systems. For performances in larger rooms (e.g. stages, hall) it can be necessary
to use external amplifiers.
You can also use the outputs to connect recording equipment (e.g. computer,
cassette recorder, MD recorder). Unlike the built-in music sequencer, recording on
external audio equipment gives you the advantage that you can play back your
music completely independently of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB. For example,
you can give your friends a recorded CD or MP3 or archive music pieces on any
recording medium.

Caution !
Be sure to switch the EG2280USB/EG8280USB on BEFORE you ◊
switch on the external amplifier, so as to avoid switch-on thumps
being amplified. Such signals could damage the amplifier and the
loudspeakers. Switch off the equipment in reverse order.
MIDI functions6.3
MIDI is an interface and protocol for transmitting of playing data to other MIDI
equipment. The most important playing data are pitch and length of notes,
key velocity and channel volume, program changes and various controller data
generated, for example, by controllers such as the pedals.
The MIDI interface does not transmit electrical audio signals but control data
only . The MIDI protocol provides for the transmission of data on 16 independent
channels. Playing data are always channel-specific data.
The EG2280USB/EG8280USB is equipped with three MIDI jacks for connecting
additional MIDI sound modules or software/hardware sequencers:
Use the MIDI OUT to connect additional synthesizers or a music computer •
receiving MIDI data from the EG2280USB/EG8280USB.
Use the MIDI IN to send playing data from other MIDI controller keyboards or •
a music computer to the sound generator of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB.
The MIDI THRU jacks passes on the MIDI data received via the MIDI IN jack •
without modification. In combination with a music computer you can thus
integrate another keyboard or sound module into the MIDI chain comprising
EG2280USB/EG8280USB and music computer.
