Frequently Asked Questions - SD7 KETRON

How to clean the Ketron SD7 keyboard?

Use a soft, dry cloth. Never use gasoline, thinners or solvents as they may damage the surfaces.

Which power adapter should I use with the SD7?

Exclusively the adapter supplied by Ketron, output 15V 4A. An unsuitable adapter may damage the instrument.

What to do in case of radio/TV interference caused by the instrument?

Try reorienting the antenna, move the instrument away from the receiver, plug it into a different outlet. If the problem persists, consult a professional.

How to connect a microphone to the SD7?

Connect a dynamic microphone to the combo (Jack/Xlr) MICRO IN jack. Use the GAIN MICRO potentiometer to adjust the level. The MICRO OUT output allows sending the signal to an external amplifier.

Can I use a sustain or volume pedal?

Yes, plug a sustain pedal (standard Jack) into the SUSTAIN jack, and a stereo volume pedal into the VOLUME jack. A multipolar footswitch (Ketron FS6/FS13) can be connected to FOOTSWITCH for additional functions.

How to turn the SD7 on and off correctly?

Press the ON/OFF button on the back. Powering on may take up to 30 seconds. To turn off, hold the button down until it is completely disabled (about 10 seconds).

Which USB ports are available?

Three USB Host ports on the right for USB keys or hard drives, and one USB Device port on the back for connection to a computer.

Can I use an external display with the SD7?

Yes, via the DVI (Digital Video Interface) connector on the back. You can thus display the interface on an external monitor.

How to connect the SD7 to an amplifier or PA system?

Use the RIGHT (MONO) and LEFT (MONO) outputs in stereo for optimal reproduction. Using only one output in mono will degrade sound quality. Connect via standard mono jacks.

Is the SD7 compliant with environmental standards?

Yes, it complies with directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC (RoHS and WEEE). At the end of its life, do not dispose of it with household waste: take it to a selective collection point.

PREVENTING RADIO/TV DISTURBANCE

This instrument operates on the radio frequency band. If it is not installed correctly and strictly in compliance with the instructions provided it may disturb the reception of radio-television appliances. Although the instrument you have purchased has been designed in compliance with applicable laws and in such a way as to provide reasonable protection against such disturbances, there is no guarantee that these will not occur. To check whether any disturbance you are experiencing is in fact produced by your instrument, turn it off to see if the disturbance disappears. Turn the instrument on again to see if the disturbance reappears. Once you are certain that your instrument is in fact causing the disturbance, take any of the following measures:

- Adjust the antenna of the radio or TV receiver.

- Place the instrument in a different position with respect to the radio or TV receiver.

- Place the instrument further away from the receiver.

- Connect the plug of the instrument to another socket so that the instrument and the receiver are connected to two different circuits.

- If necessary, call in a servicing technician.

POWER SUPPLY

- When you connect the instrument to other appliances (amplifier, mixer, Midi instruments etc.), ensure that all the units are off.

- Read the recommendations regarding Radio and TV disturbances.
