Sarno RTP and Headphones

Post by Glenn Gibson »

I'm sure this is a newbie question, but I'm a newbie and new to all of this, so here goes. :)

My question to you awesome guys and gals is: How can I (or can I) play through the RTP with headphones (so I won't disturb others in the house)? Is it as simple as buying a splitter and plugging them into the left and right output on the back? :?

Thanks! :D

Hi Glenn: I have been using the Sarmo Rev for years and, although I have tried, I have never found a better sounding unit.

I just reviewed the manual and could not find anything about a headphone jack that cuts the sound to the speakers. I think there a couple of ways to use a set headphones, but not a way to cut the sound output.

Now if you are using a DI Box into your computer for your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for recording, that would probably have the ability to do what you want.

PM me if you want a copy of the "Book of Revelation" (the owners manual for the Rev).
blah, blah, blah.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for responding. I've got the manual and read it through a couple of times. I probably need to read it again! :D

I spoke with a sound tech I know, a few days ago, and he told me I could use my IEM amplifier pack I use for playing gigs. So I ran a couple of XLRs from the Output of the RTP to the amplifier pack and voila! The headphones work fine! :D

Thanks again! :)
