About the Ground Terminal

927

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. 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.

About the Audio Selector Switch

The V-1200HD’s audio input/output connectors support either

analog or digital (AES/EBU) signals. Use the audio selector switch to

choose the signal type for your connected equipment.

* The audio selector switch setting affects both input and output

signals. For example, selecting “ANALOG” sets both the AUDIO IN

and AUDIO OUT connectors to function as analog connectors.
