anaxcrosswords Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Lovely 400W combo which I've just brought home. I notice it doesn't have a headphone output but there is a 'tuner out' jack socket. Don't want to run the risk of damaging anything, so does anyone know if this serves as a line out for eg headphones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Used my 'Tuner Out' for a Tuner and don't think headphones would work anyway as they have a stereo jack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaxcrosswords Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 OK. Just wondered if the signal would be an audio one (don't mind if it isn't stereo) that headphones could handle. Don't really want to experiment in case it blows something up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Doubt it would supply enough power for headphones, also assuming its a standard line level out its designed drive a load of 10kohm or greater impedance and headphones have a much lower impedance so in theory you would be overloading it by plugging in phones.

xgsjx Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've used it as a mono line out. Worked fine. It's just a mono jack socket, plugging your stereo headphones in means you'll get sound to one side only as there'll be no connection to the "ring" on the TRS jack. You can plug them in, but I don't think it'll be very loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 You can get one of those compact mini headphone mixers and plug the tuner out to it and then take your headphones feed but i'm pretty sure that the tuner out is pre-EQ so you won't be getting the amp's sound on your phones. The best option would be to get your signal from a post-EQ DI out in to a mixer and plug your phones there. (don't forget to turn off the volume of the amp) I have one of these in my computer and it's nice for practise alongside with some youtube videos or mp3. I can either hear from the PC's speakers, hook it up to my bass amp or use phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bass Man Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hope you enjoy your new amp fella, was great to meet you yesterday ... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'd expect the tuner out to be a line-level signal upstream of the eq, and upstream of the mute button if there is one. The other drawback is it won't mute the speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
