The GW-8 is not equipped with an amplifier or speakers. In
order to produce sound, you need to hook up audio
equipment such as a monitor speaker or a stereo set, or use
headphones.
You can record your playing (or a song recorded on the GW-
8) onto an audio recording device. Connect the OUTPUT jacks
on the GW-8’s rear panel to the input jacks of your external
device.
