is being used.
21. Phones: Connect headphones (optional, sold separately) here with a stereo 1/8" (3.5 mm) cable.

a keyboard amplifier, audio interface, speaker system, etc.

computer. This connection will power the EWI Solo and charge its battery as well as send MIDI
messages to your computer.

battery compartment cover, replace the battery, and re-secure the cover.
25. Drain Valve: This valve is used to drain built-up moisture from playing.

no mode is selected to adjust the volume. To turn the speaker off, use the Global Menu .
