• To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones
only by the headset or the plug.
• Headphones may be damaged if the volume is too high
when they are plugged in. Lower the volume on the
ATELIER before plugging in headphones.
• To prevent possible auditory damage, loss of hearing, or
damage to the headphones, the headphones should not
be used at an excessively high volume. Use the
headphones at a moderate volume level.
• Accepts connection of Stereo headphones.
• If plugs of the headphones are plugged into the [Phones]
jack, no sound will be heard from the ATELIER’s
speakers.
Since this instrument has a Mic jack, you can use a
microphone to enjoy a variety of possibilities such as singing
along with your performance, or singing along with SMF
music files (sold separately).

1. Connect your microphone to the [Mic] jack
underneath the left side of the keyboard.
2. Use the [Mic Volume] knob to adjust the
volume level for the microphone.
You can adjust the depth of the echo applied to sound from
the microphone (p. 211).
The microphone must be purchased separately. When
purchasing a microphone, please consult the vender where
you bought the ATELIER.
Some Notes on Using a Microphone

• To avoid disturbing others, be careful of the volume level
when playing late at night or very early in the morning.
• When connecting a microphone to the ATELIER, be sure
to lower the volume. If the volume control is too high
when the microphone is plugged in, noise may be
produced by the speakers.
• Howling could be produced depending on the location
of microphones relative to speakers. This can be
remedied by:
• Changing the orientation of the microphone.
• Relocating the microphone so it is farther from the
speakers.
• Lowering volume levels.
