Headphones
Headphone output on 1/4” stereo/TRS
jack. The volume can be adjusted using
the ‘Volume’ knob or the dedicated
Headphone Level control on the screen.
The headphone output will match the
audio output so it can be either stereo
or mono depending on the current
audio out configuration.
Line Out
Line level stereo outputs on 1/4” TS
dual-mono jacks. The left jack only will
break the stereo circuit and collapse
the signal to mono. These outputs can
be connected to any line level input
for monitoring and recording. The
line output is higher quality than the
headphone output, so always use it
when recording or performing. The
Line out level can be adjusted using the
‘Volume’ knob.
Sustain Pedal over standard 1/4” mono/
TS from an external sustain pedal.
Note: COBALT5S supports both types of sustain pedal
polarities. “Positive / Normally Open” pedals can be
connected / disconnected whilst COBALT5S is powered
on, however “Negative / Normally Closed” pedals must be
connected before powering on the device and disconnected
after powering off the device in order to work correctly.
If your sustain pedal has a polarity switch we recommend
setting it to the “Positive” polarity. If you are unsure of your
pedal’s polarity type, it is recommended to only connect /
disconnect the pedal whilst the device is powered off.
