The front of the monotor has four headphone output jacks, two
3.5mm and two 1/4” . The two jacks to the left are fed by one stereo amp and the two jacks to the right are fed by a separate stereo amp.
For the best performance use one set of phones per stereo amp
output. But if you need to use all four, you will not damage the monotor and performance difference for casual use is minimal.
The little holes on either side of the level potentiometer conceal a push switch set back about an inch. The left switch pushed in bypasses the left side of the level potentiometer, the right, the right side of the level potentiometer. These can be used for a variety of scenarios (see more in the manual). The most common is when using the monotor with a high quality digital to analog converter that has a built in level control (like the Oppo 105). The highest quality level pot is no level pot.
Stereo / mono function switch selects: stereo reverse (maybe that hi hat sounds better on the right?), regular stereo, mono left plus right, left only (in both ears), right only (in both ears), left minus right for hearing what is out of phase (between what is feeding the left and right in) and also useful for compressed digital audio file artifact analysis.
