  1. The headphone output is on the right side of the ToneMatch mixer. It is compatible with stereo headphones using a 1/4 inch (6mm) tip-ring-sleeve, stereo jack.
  2. On the face of the ToneMatch mixer, is the PHONES volume control. It is beside the headphone output. This controls the volume you hear in the headphones.
  3. The headphone output is the same as the Main outputs (Left and Right) except the volume is controlled by the PHONES volume control instead of the MASTER volume.
  4. The CH Mute buttons affect both the Main outputs and the headphone output. There is no independent preview/cue/solo function for the headphones independent of the Main outputs.

Headphone Output as Monitor Output

  • The headphone output is the same mix (stereo) as the two ToneMatch ports, and two analog master outputs. This is convenient if you want the same mix in the monitors as the main outputs. This is not useful if you need separate mixes for the monitors.
  • The headphone output is convenient because it has a separate level control
Notes
The headphone output jack is 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve (stereo).
  • This is NOT compatible with a 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve balanced input. That includes ANY 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve input on an S1 Pro system, L1 Compact, L1 Model 1S, L1 Model II, or any L1 Pro.
    • If you use a 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable, you will get a very low, or distorted signal
  • If you want to use the headphone output as a monitor send
    • Use a 1/4 inch (6.3mm) Tip-Sleeve cable, NOT 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve
    • If you use a 1/4 inch (6.3mm) Tip-Sleeve cable, you will send only the Left channel. Anything panned hard Right will not be heard.
