| | 5 | Keyboards are connected to the mixer via what are called "direct input" boxes. TSC has two models of these - ProCo CB-1 and Rapco db 100. They should be functionally identical. Here is what the Rapco box looks like: |

| | 11 | The first photo is the top view. On one end of the box are three 1/4" jacks: input, pass-through output and ground lift. On the opposite end of the box is an XLR male jack. |

| | 13 | Make the following connections: |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | - Connect a 1/4" to 1/4" balanced (TRS) cable from the keyboard to the input jack (the one marked "Inst High Z In") on the DI box. |
| | 16 | - Connect an XLR cable from the XLR jack (the one marked "Low Z Output") on the DI box to the mixer. |

| | 18 | Optionally, if the musician playing the keyboard requests it, connect a 1/4" to 1/4" balanced (TRS) cable from the 1/4" pass-through jack (the one marked "Inst High Z Out") on the DI box to the piano monitor (the one closest to the keyboards). |
