Hooking Up Your MPC5000

The following diagrams will demonstrate how the MPC5000 can be integrated into your recording setup. Note that the

diagrams below use every connector on the MPC and that your setup may vary from the ones shown.

 Output Connectivity Example

01. Connect the [STEREO OUT] to Powered Monitors

This will allow the main mix of your MPC to be heard.

02. Connect the [ASSIGNABLE MIX OUTS] to a multi-track Hard Disk recorder.

This will allow individual samples and sounds to be sent individually to be recorded.

Other examples of ways you can connect your MPC5000's outputs include connecting the [STEREO OUT] to a mixing board to mix the MPC

alongside other instruments, and using the [ASSIGNABLE MIX OUTS] to send certain sounds to external effects processors.

Note: The MPC5000's outputs are pseudo balanced. Use 'Balanced' or 'TRS' cables wherever possible to maximize

sound quality, but no volume degradation will occur when using standard 'TS' type cables.

 Analog Input Connectivity Example

01. Connect a synthesizer or a Microphone to the [RECORD IN] jacks.

Sources plugged into the [RECORD IN] jacks can be sampled to be used in Sample Programs. The [RECORD-IN] jacks are 1/4" / Mic combo

jacks, allowing either type of connector to be used. The input level for this jack is controlled using the [REC GAIN] knob.

Input sources can be monitored using the Input Thru feature. See page 92 for more information. Additionally, these

sources can be used for Hard Disk Recording. See page 67 for more information on Hard Disk Recording.

NOTE: The input sensitivity of these jacks are determined by the [LINE/MIC] switch. Setting this switch incorrectly can

cause clipping and distortion. Be sure to determine whether your source is line level or mic level before connecting your

device
