Connecting to External Audio Equipment
Since the synthesizer has no built-in speakers, you need to monitor its sound output via external
audio equipment. Alternatively, you could use a pair of headphones.
There are several methods of connecting to external audio equipment, as described in the following
illustrations.
Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers
A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument’s rich sounds with their own pan
and effect settings. Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the
rear panel.
When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.
Connecting to a Mixer
There are extra audio outputs in addition to the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. These four
outputs can connect to a mixer for separately controlling the outputs of up to four Parts in
Performance Mode (Page 107). You can specify the output routing of each Part in Performance Edit
Mode (Page 111).
