Jazz+ Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Will the Boss Katana AIR Line Out (stereo mini jack, has optional either with or or without effects) work okay for live stage performance when I run it to my little Mackie mixer that I that I use with my powered stereo PA speakers? Of course i would use a mini stereo plug to dual mono cable: http://cablesandconnectors.com/PIX/hoscmp153.jpg Harry was the Technical Editor of Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book" and helped develop "The Jazz Piano Book."

Jazz+ Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 From their manuals: "(PHONES)/REC OUT jack Connect headphones here. You can obtain powerful guitar sounds just as if you were playing through the speaker. By using BOSS Tone Studio you can obtain the sound of different micing (LINE OUT AIR FEEL, p. 7). To adjust the volume, use the [VOLUME] knob along with the [MASTER] knob. * If a plug is inserted in this jack, no sound will be output from the KATANAs own speaker. This is convenient if you dont want loud sound to be produced from the speaker, such as when youre practicing at night."

Scott Fraser Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yes, but the cable pictured is a Hosa, a total crap cable which should be avoided at all costs. Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yes, but the cable pictured is a Hosa, a total crap cable which should be avoided at all costs. Much agreed. Now, with a good quality stereo TRS Mini to two 1/4" TS "Y" cable, you could get a cost-effective (cheap! ) convertsion to two XLR cables via an ART DUALZDirect 2-channel Passive Direct Box, yielding isolated balanced low-impedance outputs via an audio transformer. I've enjoyed mine, using it with the 1/4" unbalanced "speaker compensated" Line-Out of a guitar tube-amp to run long XLR cables to a PA and monitors with great results.

Larryz Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yes, it will work well for practice as the headphone out jack is not going to have much if any power. For a stage performance, I would mic the amp to the PA (if needed) and use it as a monitor. Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
