Connecting to External Audio Equipment
Since the MOTIF has no built-in speakers, you’ll need an external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to
properly monitor it. The following illustrations show various connection examples; use the one most similar to your
intended setup.
Analog output
■ Connecting stereo powered speakers
A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument’s rich sounds with their own pan and effect
settings. Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear panel.
n When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.
■ Connecting to a mixer
There are extra audio outputs in addition to the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. Connect these outputs to a mixer
for separately controlling the outputs of up to four Parts in Performance mode (page 164).
