Connecting to Your Audio System

GETTING  STARTED  GUIDE

The Audio (LEFT/MONO and RIGHT) Jacks 

Please refer to “Connecting to Your Audio System” below.

The Headphones Jack

Use the Headphones jack to listen to the Artis on stereo headphones. 
The headphone jack is located on the left rear panel of  the instrument on the Artis7, and on 

the left front panel of the Artis.
You will need a 1/4-inch-to-1/8-inch adapter in order to use headphones that have a smaller 

mini plug connector.

Connecting to Your Audio System

After you’ve turned down the level on your sound system, connect the Artis analog audio 

outputs to your sound system using a pair of  balanced (TRS or “stereo”) or unbalanced (TS or 

“mono”) audio cables. Unbalanced cables will always work, but if  you’re going into balanced 

inputs, use balanced cables for a better signal-to-noise ratio and a bit more volume. The Artis 

analog outputs are balanced.

You’ll find two 1/4-inch balanced audio output jacks on the 

rear panel. Connect one end of  

each audio cable to your mixing board or PA system inputs, and connect the other end to the 

jacks marked Left (Mono) and Right on the rear panel of  the Artis. If  you have only one input 

available, use the Artis’ Left (Mono) output to get the full signal in mono. Use the jack marked 

Headphones to listen to Artis on headphones. When headphones are plugged in, sound still 

comes through the Left and Right audio jacks. (

NOTE: Artis7 headphone jack is located 

on the rear panel.
