Connecting to Your Audio System
After you’ve turned down the level on your sound system, connect the Forte 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. e Forte 
analog outputs are balanced.
You’ll nd four 1/4-inch balanced audio output jacks on the rear panel, the “A” Audio Output 
pair and the “B” Output pair. Connect one end of each audio cable to the “A” Audio Output 
jacks found on the rear panel of the Forte marked “Left (Mono)” and“Right,” and the other end 
to your mixing console or PA system inputs. If you have only one input available, use the Forte’s 
Left (Mono) output to get the full signal in mono. Use the jack marked Headphones (located 
on the front/left of the instrument) to listen to Forte on headphones. When headphones are 
plugged in, sound still comes through the Left and Right audio jacks.
