1. Power Input: Connect the included power adapter (19 V, 3.42 A, center-positive) to this jack then into an
electrical outlet.
2. Power Adapter Restraint: Secure the power adapter cable to this restraint to prevent it from accidentally
unplugging.
3. Power Switch: Press this button to turn MPC X's power on or off. While powered on, press and hold this button
for 5 seconds to force MPC X to power off (similar to a computer).
4. USB-B Port: Use the included USB cable to connect this high-retention-force USB port to an available USB port
on your computer. This connection allows MPC X to send and receive MIDI and audio data to and from the MPC
software on your computer.
5. USB-A Ports: Connect USB flash drives to these USB ports to access their files directly using MPC X.
6. Inputs 1/2 (XLR or 1/4" / 6.35 mm): Use standard XLR or 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cables to connect these inputs to
audio sources (microphone, mixer, synthesizer, etc.). To use each of these inputs, set the corresponding
Rear/Front switch (below the Gain 1/2 knob on the top panel) to Rear. Turn the Gain 1/2 knobs to set the input
level of each one.
7. Inputs 3/4 (1/4" / 6.35 mm or RCA): Use standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cables or stereo RCA cables to connect
these inputs to audio sources (mixer, turntable, synthesizer, etc.). To use the 1/4" (6.35 mm) inputs, set the
Phono/Line switch to Line. To use the RCA inputs, set the Phono/Line switch to Phono. Turn the 3/4 Rec Gain
knob to set their input levels.
8. Phono/Line Switch: Set this switch to the appropriate position, depending on which Input 3/4 connectors you
want to use. If you are using the 1/4" (6.35 mm) inputs, set this switch to Line. If you are using the RCA inputs,
set this switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals.
9. Grounding Terminal: If you are sending a phono-level turntable signal to the Input 3/4 RCA connectors and are
hearing a low hum or buzz, it could mean that the turntable is not grounded. If the turntable has a grounding
wire, connect it to this terminal.
Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore, nothing needs to be
connected to the grounding terminal.
10. Main L/R Outputs (1/4" / 6.35 mm): Use standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cables to connect these outputs to your
speaker system. The signal sent out of these outputs is the master mix. Turn the Master knob to set their
volume. To route a program to these outputs, set its routing to Out 1,2 in the Channel Mixer when the Mixer
field is set to Programs.
11. Outputs 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 (1/4" / 6.35 mm): Use standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cables to connect these outputs to an
external mixer. The signal sent from these outputs is full-volume (0 dB). To route a program to these outputs, set
its routing to Out 3,4, Out 5,6, or Out 7,8 in the Channel Mixer when the Mixer field is set to Programs.
12. MIDI In: Use a standard 5-pin MIDI cable to connect this input to the MIDI output of an optional external MIDI device.
13. MIDI Out: Use a standard 5-pin MIDI cable to connect this output to the MIDI input of an optional external MIDI device.
14. CV/Gate Out: Use standard 1/8" (3.5 mm) TS cables to connect these outputs to optional external sequencers.
MPC X will send control voltage (CV) and/or Gate data over this connection.
