2. Setting up and demo songs
You must be dying to try out your new E-80 to see what it is capable of. We’ll get to that in a minute. But first we need
to connect it.
Connections
The E-80 contains internal speakers. You therefore don’t need to connect it to an external amplifier (Roland’s KC series,
for example). But you can also use optional headphones (Roland RH-25, RH-50, RH-200 or RH-300, for example).
Be sure to switch off both the E-80 and the external devices you want to connect before making or breaking audio and/
or MIDI connections. If you do not have access to the sound system of the venue where you are performing, ask the local
engineer to set the volume to the minimum level.
Note: Try to use dynamic microphones whenever possible. You can also connect a condenser microphone, however, provided you use a DI box
(with power supply).
Note: Except for the power cable, all other items shown above are optional. See your Roland dealer for details.
