Connecting An Amp And Speaker System - Roland V-Synth XT Owner's Manual

Getting Ready

Connecting an Amp and Speaker System

Since the V-Synth XT contains no amplifier or speakers, you'll need to connect it to
audio equipment such as a keyboard amplifier, monitor speaker system or home
stereo, or use headphones to hear its sound.
Here we will explain example connections that use mainly the MAIN OUT jacks.

To prevent malfunction and/
or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the
volume, and turn off the
power on all devices before
making any connections.
In order to fully experience the
V-Synth XT's sound, we
recommend using a stereo
amp/speaker system. If you're
using a mono system,
however, make your
connections to the V-Synth
XT's MAIN OUT jack L
(MONO).
Audio cables are not included
with the V-Synth XT. You'll
need to provide them.
