3. Headphone Output Connection

MONO/STEREO Switch

Located near the input jack, the MONO/STEREO switch allows you to select the output mode:

  • STEREO: For true stereo sound. Ensure your input source and cables are stereo (TRS).
  • MONO: Combines the left and right channels into a single mono signal. This is useful if your input source is mono, or if you wish to hear both channels in both ears from a stereo source.

If your audio source is mono, pressing the stereo button can simulate a stereo effect.

Connecting to Speakers

While primarily designed for headphones, the MHAMP1 can also be used to split an audio signal to multiple speakers. Connect the outputs of the MHAMP1 to the inputs of your powered speakers or amplifiers using appropriate 1/4" TS or TRS cables.
