OUTPUT connectors

These are stereo output connectors for the audio signal. The same signal is output from the XLR connectors (L, R) and from the phone jacks (L/MONO, R).

About the phone jacks

If you connect a cable only to the L/MONO jacks of the phone jacks, the sound of the left and right channels will be mixed and output in monaural.

*The stereo signal will be output from the XLR connectors.

*We recommend that you use stereo output. If you use monaural output, the quality and character of the sound may be affected, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

PHONES jack

Connect headphones here (p. 21).

Even if headphones are connected, the audio signal will still be output from the OUTPUT connectors.
