GND-LIFT switch
Normally, this switch should be set to GND. When the switch is set to LIFT, the GND of the LEFT and
RIGHT jacks will be separated from the ground of the instrument. If ground loop or similar noise
occurs, the LIFT setting may resolve the problem.
1 Turn down the volume on all of your connected equipment, and then turn off the power.
2 Connect the L/MONO and R jacks or the LEFT and RIGHT (XLR) jacks from the AUDIO OUTPUT of
this instrument to the audio input jacks of your powered monitor speakers or mixer.
Tip:
The signals outputted from the L/MONO and R jacks are the same as those from the LEFT and RIGHT (XLR)
jacks. You can use all of these jacks at the same time.
Tip:
For monaural sound only, connect to the L/MONO jack.
Connecting the headphones
Connect a set of headphones equipped with a 1/4" (ø6.3 mm) stereo phone-plug to the (head-
phones jack) of this instrument. This jack outputs the same signal as the other AUDIO OUTPUT jacks.
Note:
The output from the AUDIO OUTPUT is not turned off even if you connect a pair of headphones to the head-
phones jack.
Connecting the damper pedal
Connect the included DS-1H damper pedal to the DAMPER jack on the rear panel.
If you connect the Grandstage X’s LEFT and RIGHT jacks (XLR) to a mixer or similar device, be
sure to turn off the phantom power of that device. The Grandstage X might be damaged if you
fail to do so.
Do not press the pedal while you turn on the power or connect the pedal to the Grandstage X.
