PRE-AMP OUT (To Power Amp)
Jacks for connection to a power amp (we suggest the Rocktron Velocity 100 power amp
- 2x50 watts - stereo). These are stereo output jacks that should be connected to a
power amp input.
MIDI THRU/OUT
This standard 5-pin DIN connector can be connected to the MIDI IN jack of another
device via a standard MIDI cable. There are limitations to the number of devices that
can be chained (or series connected) in this fashion.
NOTE: There is a limit to the number of devices which can be chained together
(connected in series). With more than three devices, a slight distortion of the MIDI
signal can occur (due to signal degradation) which can cause an error in MIDI signal
transmission. Should this problem arise, a MIDI Thru box can be used which connects
directly to the MIDI device. The MIDI Thru box transmits MIDI information through
multiple connectors to the devices receiving MIDI. MIDI cables should not exceed 50
feet (15 meters) in length.
MIDI IN and Suggested Footcontrollers
This 7-pin DIN connector is specially designed to receive MIDI program changes from a
Rocktron MIDI Footcontroller and to provide phantom power to that controller.
Although, you may use a standard 5-pin MIDI cable and any MIDI footcontroller to run
this unit, we suggest that you use the Rocktron RMM900 MIDI Cable and the Rocktron
MIDI Mate or MIDI I.T. footcontrollers (available at your Rocktron dealer). We have
designed the RepliTone MP to have a 7-pin Din connector where Pins 6 & 7 carry
phantom power to a Rocktron MIDI Mate or MIDI I.T. footcontroller. Using this set up
you can power your footcontroller directly from the RepliTone MP thus eliminating the
need to plug in your footcontroller on stage. This will eliminate additional wires and
cables from the front of the stage.
This connector must be connected to the MIDI OUT jack of the transmitting MIDI
device via the Rocktron RMM900 7-pin DIN MIDI cable or a standard 5 -pin MIDI
cable, or the MIDI THRU jack of the preceding device (if this unit is within a chain of
MIDI devices).
