CONNECTIONS
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
General guide on audio connections: Before turning on your amplifier,
make all audio connections. Always turn on the amplifier last, and when
shutting down, always turn off your amplifier or active speakers first.
E Using your Nord Grand at high volumes can damage your hearing.
HEADPHONES
1/4 inch stereo headphone jack. Audio is always output through the
Headphones output, regardless of Output Routing settings.
LEFT & RIGHT OUT
1/4 inch unbalanced line level outputs for amplifier or recording equip-
ment. The Nord Grand is a stereo instrument with separate signal paths
for left and right audio channels.
When shipped, the Nord Grand is configured to output all audio
through the Left & Right outputs. Refer to the System Menu section on
page 22 for other possible settings.
MONITOR IN
1/8 inch jack for connecting devices such as smartphones, tablets or
computers to the Nord Grand. This is useful for playing and rehearsing
to pre-recorded music or a metronome, or to use an additional sound
source on stage. The Monitor In signal is routed to the Headphones
and Left & Right outputs.
E The Nord Grand Master Level control does not affect the level of
the Monitor In signal.
