Audio quality

Ive noticed the audio quality is much better with the headphone out than it is with the 1/4 inch output on the Nano Cortex. Why is this? If I output from the NC using the 1/4 inch to a mix desk at a venue will it sound like s**t?

Digital Modelers 101 lesson: Listening environment matters.

What sounds good in your headphones isn’t going to translate the same way when it’s sent to a mix desk. Always test your gig sounds at gig volume.

That makes total sense. Thanks!

Have you tried using a TRS cable? In my case, I’ve noticed a big improvement in sound quality when I use a TRS cable instead of a mono jack.

A TRS cable will reduce noise due to being balanced audio but it won’t improve the quality.

I’m not an expert, but I tested it directly with an FRFR speaker, and the sound is much more powerful with a TRS cable.

Thanks all. I think I can close this thread now. Getting better results after swapping out a cable.
