Plate with two 1/8 inch inputs — Stereo Headphone Amp
It includes PHONES output, and an extra stereo line input (AUX IN). That elevates the
levels of instrument usability and allows one to play the bass with its true tone virtually
anywhere, without disrup ng anyone's peace of mind. One should note that the output
signal of the Musashi Nitōryū preamp is sent to the headphone amp input. For the ac ve
se ng, the EQ will have an impact on the tone one hears in the headphones.
The headphone amp can only work with stereo headphones fi ed with a 1/8" (3.5 mm) TRS jack plug. Headphones with
impedance ranging from 16 to 64 Ohms are acceptable. In the case of stereo headphones with a different plug, a proper
adapter shall be used. Headphones and adapters shall be purchased separately. One shall not use mono (TS jack)

or similar TRRS jack plugs are also not usable with this bass.
