Topic: Additional phones outputs

Hello,

Is it correct to connect a pair of headphones to an analog output (TRS jack) of the Multiface 2?. If yes, do I need a pair of outputs to get a stereo signal and an Y type cable.

Best regards.

Re: Additional phones outputs

I'm not sure what impedance the Line Outs are capable of driving, but you would need a "Y" cable (Insert type cable but with a female 1/4" TRS to accept your headphone plug) to get L/R Stereo.  I'd probably use a dedicated headphone amplifier myself.

Using a single TRS output on a balanced output device (like the MF) to feed a TRS Stereo Headphone would only yield a mono signal, but with inverted polarity in one ear.

cool
