However, the analog Outs 1 & 2 will always serve as your default left and right outputs. Please connect Outs 1 & 2 to the left and right channels, respectively, of your speakers, mixer, or other monitoring system. < You may also connect a pair of headphones to one of the headphone jacks on the front of the unit allowing for monitoring or pre-listening in private. < The eight 1/4" line level inputs on the back of the ProjectMix I/O accept line-level signals, such as those from keyboards, mixers, and CD players.
