What’s the Monitor Feature?

During stage performances, this feature lets the performer input guide
clicks needed for playing in sync with a sequencer or other sounds that
people other than the performer are not meant to hear, and play them
so that only the performer can monitor them.

The KC-880 uses a mute feature that lets you select and mute out the
output of audio signals input to AUX IN/MONITOR IN.

Usage Example 1: Using the KC-880 as a dedicated monitor-
speaker amplifier in a public address (PA) system (p. 15)

Input the guide clicks or the like to AUX IN/MONITOR IN and switch
on the MUTE [LINE OUT] button.

The guide clicks are output from the built-in speakers and
headphones, but not from the LINE OUT jack.
*

The performer monitors the sound using the built-in speakers.

Usage Example 2: Using the KC-880 as the main PA device (p. 15)

Input the guide clicks or the like to AUX IN/MONITOR IN on the unit
and switch on the MUTE [SPEAKER] button.

The guide clicks are output from the LINE OUT jack and
headphones, but not from the built-in speakers.
*

The performer monitors the sound using headphones.
