Sure!

The Line Out Boost (Menu Button > Press 6x) may be used, if needed.

XLR out to a powered speaker worked for me, the sound was very good.

So, how did you like your sound through the rokits, stedyedy45.

I wasn't too impressed. I did not connect them directly, but through a mixer. Shouldn't really make that much of a difference, though, the mixer.

I figured me not being that impressed was because those rokits are near field monitors, and not your regular speakers.

Anyway, let us know your experiences. Cheers.

M.T. Pilot, what was it regarding whichever near field monitors you tried with your Mustang, that you found to be unimpressive?

Yes. It works and sounds great. Especially thru a full range system. I run xlr out to a mixer then out to 2 Yamaha DBR15 powered speakers and 1 EV 18" powered sub. Way overkill for just guitar, but I mix with backing tracks.
Bottom line it works great... you won't blow anything up. Just go from xlr OUT on amp to xlr IN on other speakers or equipment. You may need to EQ it differently depending on your speakers (or if you want it to sit in the mix well with other music).

Hi. Sorry I didn't answer before.

I didn't try it after all


I had sold my focusrite audio interface because I realised the mustang recorded better connected to my pc. I was also going to sell the Rokits until I though about connecting them direct to the Mustang but before that I tried connecting them to my Pc sound card, and they sound great. So now when I record I have the mustang connected to the pc's USB and the Rokits connected to the soundcard it works so much better to my ears.
Cheers
