Roland AX-Edge 49-Key Keytar Synthesizer (White) - Manual (Page 7)

Connecting External Equipment
Connecting to an amp or mixer
The AX-Edge does not have an internal amp or speakers. In order
to produce sound, you’ll need to connect it to an audio device
such as a keyboard amp, monitor speakers, or a stereo set, or use
headphones.
1.
Connect the rear panel OUTPUT jacks to the input jacks of
your external device.
Amp or mixer
Make connections using a 1/4” unbalanced (mono) cable. Use a
cable that has the appropriate type of plug for connecting to the
input jack of your device.
* If you’re using a mono audio device, connect the cable to the L/MONO
OUTPUT jack.
If you’re using headphones, connect them to the PHONES jack. In
this case there’s no need to connect any other audio device.
Connecting via a wireless system to an amp, etc.
If you use a commercially available wireless system and operate
the AX-Edge on batteries, you’ll be able to perform while moving
around on stage free of any cables.
* Be sure to use a wireless transmitter that complies with the wireless
regulations that are applicable in your area.
1.
Connect the wireless transmitter to the rear panel
OUTPUT jacks.
Wireless transmitters
* The shape of the connector depends on the wireless transmitter that
you’re using.
* If the amp that you’re using has only a mono channel, connect only one
transmitter to the L/MONO jack of the AX-Edge.
2.
Connect the audio output of the wireless receiver to your
mixer or amp.
