2. Identificació de components
Familiarize yourself with the various components of the NMP-2 footswitch:
- Foot Switch A: Activates functions for devices connected to Jack A or Jack B&A.
- Foot Switch B: Activates functions for devices connected to Jack B or Jack B&A.
- Foot Switch A Indicator: Lights up to show the status of Foot Switch A. In latch mode, it alternates on/off. In momentary mode, it lights only while pressed.
- Foot Switch B Indicator: Lights up to show the status of Foot Switch B. In latch mode, it alternates on/off. In momentary mode, it lights only while pressed.
- DC Jack (9V): Power input for activating Latch, Open, and Close modes with indicator lights. Requires a 9V power supply (positive outside, negative inside) with a 2.5mm plug.
- Jack A: Connects to devices controlled by Foot Switch A. Use a 1/4” (6.35mm) mono phone plug cable.
- Jack B&A: Connects to devices equipped with TRS or TS 1/4” (6.35mm) phone jacks. Use a stereo or mono 1/4” (6.35mm) phone plug cable. Note: TS (mono) is for Foot Switch B only. For simultaneous operation of Foot Switch A and B, a TRS (stereo) cable must be used here.
- Interruptor de mode: Sets the function for Foot Switch A and B to LATCH, Momentary (Open), or Momentary (Close). Refer to your connected device's manual for the appropriate setting.

3. Configuració i connexions
Follow these steps to connect your NMP-2 footswitch to your equipment:
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect a 9V DC power adapter (positive outside, negative inside, 2.5mm plug) to the DC Jack (5). This power supply is necessary for the Latch, Open, and Close modes to function with indicator lights.
- Connexió als dispositius:
- For Foot Switch A only: Use a 1/4” (6.35mm) mono phone plug cable to connect Jack A (6) on the NMP-2 to the control input of your device.
- For Foot Switch B only (mono): Use a 1/4” (6.35mm) mono phone plug cable to connect Jack B&A (7) on the NMP-2 to the control input of your device.
- For Foot Switch A and B simultaneously (stereo): Use a 1/4” (6.35mm) stereo (TRS) phone plug cable to connect Jack B&A (7) on the NMP-2 to the control input of your device. Ensure your device supports TRS input for dual footswitch control.
- Setting the Mode Switch: Locate the Mode Switch (8) on the rear of the unit. Set it to LATCH, OPEN, or CLOSE according to the requirements of the device you are controlling. Consult the owner's manual of your connected device for the correct setting.

4. Operating the Footswitch
Once connected and configured, operate the NMP-2 as follows:
- Mode LATCH: When the Mode Switch is set to LATCH, pressing Foot Switch A or B will toggle its state (on/off). The corresponding indicator light will alternately light or go out with each press. This mode is suitable for functions that require a persistent on/off state.
- MOMENTARY (OPEN) Mode: When the Mode Switch is set to OPEN, the Tip and Sleeve of the connected mono cable are opened only while the footswitch is held down. The indicator light will remain lit only while the switch is pressed. This mode is useful for functions that activate only for the duration of the press.
- MOMENTARY (CLOSE) Mode: When the Mode Switch is set to CLOSE, the Tip and Sleeve of the connected mono cable are closed only while the footswitch is held down. The indicator light will remain lit only while the switch is pressed. This mode is also for functions that activate only for the duration of the press, but with an inverse electrical behavior compared to OPEN mode.
Always refer to the manual of your connected device to determine the correct footswitch mode (Latch, Open, or Close) required for its specific functions.
