hi there! new to production and the sp-404sx.
just bought the unit and want to use it right away. as of now, i don't have headphones so i've been using a 1/8" mono jack to 1/4" stereo plug headphone adapter with my earphones. there's only sound coming out of one side which alternates every time i plug it back it. would anyone know if this is the unit messing up or the adapter? already tried two earphones, same problem. when i use them on something else they work just fine.. also hear a slight crackling when i use them with the sp. please help!

Re: Headphone output help!
if i read correctly, it sounds like you're using a stereo to mono adapter so that could be the issue..?

Shouldn't be summing it to one side though I wouldn't think.Alnitak_Kid wrote:if i read correctly, it sounds like you're using a stereo to mono adapter so that could be the issue..?
It's probably the adapter. They can vary dramatically in quality and the lower quality ones often have terrible connections. But ultimately if you can get your hands on some 1/4" headphones to test it with you'd know for sure!
Also if you have access to an interface with a line in you could also try using a 1/4" lead.
Good luck! Hope it's the adapter (cheapest fix!)
