What’s the Monitor Feature?

During stage performances, this feature lets the performer input guide clicks needed for playing in sync with a sequencer or other sounds that people other than the performer are not meant to hear, and play them so that only the performer can monitor them.

The KC-880 uses a mute feature that lets you select and mute out the output of audio signals input to AUX IN/MONITOR IN.

Usage Example 1: Using the KC-880 as a dedicated monitor- speaker amplifier in a public address (PA) system (p. 15)

Input the guide clicks or the like to AUX IN/MONITOR IN and switch on the MUTE [LINE OUT] button.

The guide clicks are output from the built-in speakers and headphones, but not from the LINE OUT jack.

*The performer monitors the sound using the built-in speakers.

Usage Example 2: Using the KC-880 as the main PA device (p. 15)

Input the guide clicks or the like to AUX IN/MONITOR IN on the unit and switch on the MUTE [SPEAKER] button.

The guide clicks are output from the LINE OUT jack and headphones, but not from the built-in speakers.

*The performer monitors the sound using headphones.
