Headphones (connecting and using)
Connect a standard pair of stereo headphones to the stereo 1/4” jack on the top or at the front of the X-9. These two jacks output the same signals and are controlled by the same controls.
Use the headphone PHONES
LEVEL control to adjust the volume of the signal from the headphones.
There are four EQ settings, which can be made using the menu system (menu 01HP
)—see “Menu reference” on page 17. These settings boost either the
low or the high part of the frequency range, or both.
The fourth setting is a “normal” setting—no cut or boost.

The balance between the cue mix (see “Cue (previewing sounds)” on page 16) and the master cue
mix in the headphones is set using the upper
PHONES control. Turn counterclockwise for cue signals ( CUE ) and clockwise for main master cue mix
( MST ).
In addition, the headphone output can be in stereo outputs or set so that the left headphone outputs the cue signal (in mono, of course) and the right headphone outputs the master main signal (in mono).
Use the STEREO (the indicator is unlit)/ MONO
SPLIT (indicator is lit) key to change between these two modes.
In the MONO SPLIT mode, the cue signal is output from the left headphone, and the master cue signal from the right headphone. Use the CUE/MST control to adjust the relative levels.
Fader start/stop connections
The four mono mini-jacks (3.5 mm) are connected so that the tip feeds a fader start, and the sleeve feeds a fader stop.
The ground for these connections is provided by the signal ground of the device to which the fader start is made.
NOTE
Even if the device is connected digitally to the X-9 (such as a CD or MD player) for the audio connection, an ana-
Footswitches
You can connect one or two
(optional) footswitches, such as the TASCAM RC-30P model, to the X-9’s FOOT SW jacks. log connection must also be made to provide the ground for the fader start.
Note that the fader start control refers to the program
number—see “About programs” on page 14 (not the
device number).
To activate fader start/stop for individual programs,
follow the instructions in “Fader start” on page 21.
To activate fader start/stop for the devices assigned to the cross-fader signals, follow the instructions in
“Cross-fader start” on page 22.
These footswitches can be used for a variety of purposes, such as sampler control, effect on and off, etc.
Use the menu item ( 08Ft
) (“Menu reference” on page 17) for full details of how these switches can be
set up.
