Plug a pair of stereo headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4” jack into the Phones input. Using
headphones not only affords you the opportunity to listen privately, but also enables you to monitor
the incoming audio sources so you can locate an exact passage or section before mixing it in. It also
gives you the opportunity to set up the relative volume level of the upcoming passage before it joins
the mix.
Using Headphones
Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended, high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing
loss. Follow these guidelines to protect
your hearing, especially when using
headphones.
Always start by setting the volume
level to the lowest possible level
before listening.
Put headphones on, and then
gradually increase the volume as
necessary.
Once you set the volume level do
not increase it. Over a period of time,
your ears adapt to a volume level and
there is a temptation to increase it.
Even though such an increase may not
cause discomfort, it might still damage
your hearing.
Listen Safely! Please observe the following:
