Connecting Your Keyboard
Before You Connect...
You can power the keyboard either via USB or an optional external power supply. However, the Keystation 49e is a very low power
device and an external power supply should not be necessary. It is recommended that you connect the Keystation 49e to an onboard
USB port or to a powered USB hub.
