6. AUDIO OUTPUT: (see page 7)
You can connect powered monitors, a stereo amp, mixer, or
multi-track recorder to these jacks.
L/MONO, R jack
These are φ6.3mm TS (unbalanced tip-sleeve) phone jacks
for outputting audio.
Adjust the volume level using the MASTER VOLUME
knob.
If you're using a stereo connection, connect to both
L/MONO and R jacks.
If you're using a monaural connection, connect to the
L/MONO jack. This jack is used for devices that only have a
mono input.
LEFT, RIGHT jack
These are XLS (balanced) jacks are
for stereo audio output.
Adjust the volume level using the
MASTER VOLUME knob.
If you connect the Grandstage'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 might be damaged if you fail to do
so.
LIFT - GND switch
Normally, the GND side is used. When the LIFT side is
used, the GND jacks of the LEFT and RIGHT jacks will be
separated from the ground of the main unit. If noise occurs
from the ground loop and so on, using the LIFT side may
cause the noise to dissipate.
7. (Power button)
This turns the power on/off (see page 7).
Auto Power-Off function
When a set period of time has passed without operating this
keyboard, the power is automatically turned off. To change
the set period of time or to disable this function, refer to
"Auto Power Off" on page 16).
The factory-set default is 4 hours.
After turning off the power, any settings not saved in
the favorites will be lost. Be sure to write any settings
into memory that you want to keep before turning off
the power. The system settings are maintained whenever
they are changed (refer to "Types of system settings" on
page 15).

you first connect the power cord to the Grandstage, and then
