Connecting mics and other audio devices
This unit has a built-in stereo microphone that you can 
use to practice or record your singing, for example, 
but you can also use an external mic or other device 
as an input. You can connect external sound sources to 
the line input jack or one of two types of microphone 
input jacks. The following sections explain how to use 
the jacks to connect external devices. (See “Selecting 
the input source” on page 20 for more about making 
settings related to connections and input level setting.) 
Audio device or other 
external sound source
You can connect a one-point stereo electret condenser 
microphone, for example, to the 
MIC 1 IN
 jack (stereo 
mini-jack) on the rear panel. Use the Input Setting 
Screen to adjust the level control, the low cut filter and 
other settings. (See “Selecting the input source” on 
page 20.) 
You can connect, for example, a dynamic microphone 
with a 1/4˝ plug to the 
MIC 2 IN
 jack (standard mono 
jack) on the front panel. 
NOTE
The level control and filter functions cannot be used on the 
input signal from this jack. 
You can connect the line output of an audio device, 
for example, to the 
LINE IN
 jack (stereo mini-jack) on 
the rear panel. 
NOTE
The DR-1 does not have any controls to adjust the input 
level of the 
LINE IN
 jack.
