Roland's line of Fantom keyboard workstations offer a variety of features to optimize performance both live and in the studio. Designed for both capability and flexibility, the Fantom G boasts a range of input and output options, several of which are configurable to match your needs. As well as traditional stereo outputs, assign up to four mono instrument outputs to provide enhanced flexibility over your sound.

      Connect one 1/4-inch phone plug to each of the left and right A group outputs. By default, these are the main stereo outputs from the the Fantom. These jacks support two-conductor, tip-sleeve connectors or three-conductor, tip-ring-sleeve connectors.

      Connect the other end of each connector to inputs on your stereo recorder. If you have more than a single stereo pair of inputs, the left channel will usually be the odd-numbered track of an adjacent pair, while the right channel will be even-numbered. Connector style will depend on the stereo device you are using.
