Please refer to “Connecting to Your Audio System” below.
The Headphones Jack
Use the Headphones jack located on the left rear panel of the instrument to listen to the
Forte SE on stereo headphones. You will need a 1/4-inch-to-1/8-inch adapter in order to use
headphones that have a smaller mini plug connector.
Connecting to Your Audio System
After you’ve turned down the level on your sound system, connect the Forte SE analog audio
outputs to your sound system using a pair of balanced (TRS or “stereo”) or unbalanced
(TS or “mono”) audio cables. Unbalanced cables will always work, but if you’re going into
balanced inputs, use balanced cables for a better signal-to-noise ratio and a bit more volume.
The Forte SE analog outputs are balanced.
You’ll find two 1/4-inch balanced audio output jacks on the rear panel. Connect one end of
each audio cable to your mixing board or PA system inputs, and connect the other end to
the jacks marked Left (Mono) and Right on the rear panel of the Forte SE. If you have only
one input available, use the Forte SE’s Left (Mono) output to get the full signal in mono. Use
the jack marked Headphones to listen to Forte SE on headphones. When headphones are
plugged in, sound still comes through the Left and Right audio jacks.
