The EX-8 drives the loudspeakers with balanced outputs.
Since none of the output terminals are grounded,
connecting any of them to ground may result in damage
to the amplifier.
Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to
any speaker switch-box, accessory, or test
equipment that has a common ground
connection.
The balanced and single-ended preamplifier outputs on
the rear panel of the EX-8 allow for a seperate
amplifier/subwoofer to be driven. Two switches
accessible through the rear panel allow for these outputs
to be configured as mono or stereo. Both switches must
be in the same position (up or down) for the outputs to
operate as intended.
Headphones can be connected easily to the front of the
EX-8. Between the display and volume knob you will
find three connectors; one for single-ended headphones
and two for a set of balanced headphones. The single ¼”
on the right will allow you to listen in single-ended
mode.
