Connecting audio devices
The Grandstage X does not have built-in speakers. To hear what you play, you’ll need to connect audio
equipment such as powered monitor speakers or a mixer, or a pair of headphones to the respective
AUDIO OUTPUT jacks on the rear panel.
Connecting powered monitor speakers or a mixer
L/MONO, R jack
These are 6.3 mm TS (unbalanced tip-sleeve) phone jacks for outputting audio. For monaural sound
only, connect to the L/MONO jack.
LEFT, RIGHT jack (XLR)
These are XLR (balanced) jacks for stereo audio output.
Note that these jacks are for balanced connections, and are mainly used for connecting to profes-
sional audio equipment. These robustly-designed jacks are not susceptible to noise, and cannot be
easily pulled out by accident.
Note:
The pin connections are as shown in the diagram at right (2=HOT, 3=COLD). Use caution when connecting,
as some audio equipment may have the HOT and COLD pins reversed, although this is uncommon.
The audio outputs on this keyboard output signal at a higher level than ordinary home audio
equipment like CD players. For this reason, playing at an excessive volume may damage your
speakers or other audio equipment. Use caution when adjusting the volume.
