models K4 EX and K5 EX). Use with Headphones.
NB
•
The AUDIO OUT outputs have balanced connections and can be used with either mono or stereo jacks/cables. If
using mono jacks/cables, or devices with unbalanced inputs, the signal level is 6dB lower than when using stereo
jacks/cables. Furthermore, connections made using balanced cables (stereo jacks and cables) are much more
immune to interferences.
