Adjusting the volume
Rotate the MASTER VOLUME knob towards the right to in-
crease the volume; towards the left to decrease the volume. The
maximum value is “10”; the minimum (silence) is “0”. This
control adjusts the output level of the headphones, the internal
speakers and of the OUTPUTs.
It does not control the volume of an audio device connected to
the INPUT connectors. Use the audio device’s own controls to
set its volume.
It is always better to start with a low volume and then increase
gradually.
Using the headphones
For playing or practicing during night hours, or when you
don’t want to be heard by others in the same room, connect
one or two pairs of high-quality headphones (32
impedance
suggested) to the appropriate PHONES connectors. These
connectors are standard 1/4” phone jacks. If your headphones
have a mini-jack adapter, grasp the adapter when plugging in
or out the headphones.
Warning:
When using headphones, protect your hearing by
avoiding extended listening at high volumes.
