    Sheeran Looper X inputs and outputs on the back panel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Make sure the power switch is off and the input- and volume knobs on the front panel are turned all the way down before you connect or disconnect your headphones or other cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Inputs<\/strong>. The four inputs are combi jacks<\/a> that can accept either a balanced XLR<\/a> cable or an unbalanced 1\/4-inch instrument cable. Use these to connect a microphone, a guitar, or other instruments. Adjust Input Gain<\/strong> for each input using the knobs on the front panel, and view the incoming signal level in the Track<\/strong>, Mixer<\/strong>, and Audio Routing<\/strong> views on the display. You can enable 48V phantom power<\/a> if your microphone requires it. Learn more in Sheeran Looper X User Guide > 5.0 Menu > 5.10 Global Settings <\/strong>(page 37).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aux<\/strong>. Connect a 1\/8-inch TRS cable for analog audio auxiliary input<\/strong> from a phone or a device to play a backing- or practice track. The aux input is routed directly to the outputs and does not go through the looper or any effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Phones<\/strong>. Connect headphones using a 1\/4-inch TRS <\/a>plug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
