Setup and Connections
13 Quantum Manual
The Rear Panel Connections
The Quantum provides two analog stereo audio outputs
and a headphones output. The Main and Headphone out-
puts are affected by the setting of the Master Volume con-
trol and the Comp(ressor) dial. Use 2x TS mono jack cables
to connect the Main output to a mixer. The Quantum is a
stereo instrument. There is no inherent mono output. Use
your mixing console to appropriately distribute the stereo
channels in case.
Headphones Output and Headphone Volume
Here you can connect any headphone
with a 1/4-inch stereo plug. The
headphone output uses the same
signal as the main output. The
Headphones Volume controls the
Quantum’s headphone volume in addi-
tion to the
Main Volume knob. Use this
knob to amplify or attenuate headphones level to adjust
for individual headphone loudness and impedance.
Main Output
Connect the left and right jack with
1/4-inch mono plugs.
Aux Output
Connect the left and right jack with
1/4-inch mono plugs. The Aux Out-
put contains no signal unless spe-
cified in the
Layer page for example
when using split or layered sounds.
The Aux Outputs are neither affected
by the
Master Volume nor are using the master compres-
sor. For more information on how to set up the Aux output
please read ‘The Layer Page’ chapter .
Audio Input
Quantum offers a stereo audio input
(2x mono
jacks) that can be used to
feed an external audio signal into
the Quantum. Therefore, the signal
can either be routed through Quan-
tum’s signal path for realtime live
processing or directly recorded by using the Audio Recor-
der on the Global page. For more information, please refer
to the ‘The Audio Tab’ chapter within the Global Page
description and also ‘The Layer Page’ chapter.
