Backtrack™

5

Connecting the outputs

The Backtrack has two stereo outputs: the main XLR outs and the Monitor 

¼” TRS outputs. We recommend using the XLR outputs to feed a pair of 

line inputs on the PA system, as they feature transformer isolation to help 

eliminate the possibility of encountering hum or buzz from ground loops. 

A ground lift is also provided on the XLR outputs to further reduce noise 

should you encounter a ground loop. 

The 1/4” TRS monitor outputs allow you to feed a set of powered speakers 

on stage to listen locally to the Backtrack outputs. 

Headphone output

The Backtrack features a headphone 

output to allow you to test your primary 

and backup playback systems. This 

is equipped with a level control and 

CUE SELECT switch which will choose 

whether the headphones monitor 

input A or B. Note that this switch will 

not affect the main or monitor outputs 

of the Backtrack, so you can use the 

headphones to ensure both sets of 

backing tracks are playing back in time 

and at the same volume.
