VA-76 – Audio connections

2.1 Audio connections

The VA-76 does not contain an internal amplification system. You will either have to use stereo headphones or connect the VA-76 to a keyboard or other type of amplifier and speaker system. You could also connect it to a PA system, power amplifiers, etc.

OUTPUT 1 sockets— Connect these sockets to the inputs of a mixing console, stage box, HiFi or power amplifier, etc. You can also connect them to the inputs of a cassette deck, etc. to make an audio recording of your playing.

OUTPUT 2 sockets— Use these sockets whenever you wish to amplify certain parts of your VA-76 without the internal effects. Using these sockets can be useful for multi-track recordings involving your VA-76.

PHONES— The PHONES socket is located at the front right. You can connect one pair of headphones. For optimum sound quality, be sure to use Roland RH-25 or RH-50 headphones.
