This jack on the front panel lets you connect a pair of stereo

headphones to the P-150 for private listening. The internal

speakers will automatically be disconnected when you plug in

the headphones. The sound of the internal voices output from

the [OUTPUT] jacks is not affected.

2Keyboard

This 88-key weighted action, touch-sensitive keyboard

incorporates Yamaha’s unique Action Effect II keyboard

technology, which gives it the genuine feel and response of a

real piano keyboard.

you may choose to turn the speakers off using the [SPEAKER]
