The line outputs are 3-pole (TRS) ¼” (6.35 mm) jack sockets, and are electronically balanced. Typical
consumer (Hi-Fi) amplifiers and small powered monitors will have unbalanced inputs, either on
phono (RCA) sockets, or via a 3.5 mm 3-pole jack plug intended for direct connection to a computer.
In either case, use a suitable connecting cable with jack plugs at one end.
Professional power amplifiers will generally have balanced inputs; we highly recommend using
balanced cables to connect these to the outputs of the Scarlett 2i2.
NOTE: You run the risk of creating an audio feedback loop if loudspeakers are active when you
are monitoring a microphone! We recommend that you always turn off (or turn down) monitoring
loudspeakers while recording, and use headphones when overdubbing.
