8. Connect the Left and Right Speaker Outs (A)
from the Mix Out card to the inputs of your
stereo power amplifier (or powered monitor
speakers). These outputs are balanced when us-
ing a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connector, or unbal-
anced when using a TS (tip-sleeve) connector.
Use instrument/line-level cable for this connec-
tion. If using a stereo power amplifier/speaker
combo, connect the amplifier outputs to the
monitor speakers using appropriate speaker
cable.
9. If you don't have an amplifier and speakers
handy, you can connect a pair of headphones to
the Phones 1 output on the Mix Out Card.
