OK, I have looks every where and I just can't find how to turn off the speakers on PSR-S900. I am using it to record in my studio and I only want to hear the mix through my monitors. Any idea?

Just plug any 1/4-inch phono plug into the headphone jack and the speakers will turn off. There is no on/off switch.

Cheers,

Gary

Actually, it doesn't even have to be stereo.
You can plug any 1/4" plug in and do it.

Is that a shameless plug, Donny?

Personally, I would get a stereo 1/4" male to stereo 1/8" female converter for the job... Just in case you want to record to a mini recorder or feed a monitor, or use mini earpods etc.. No reason it can't be something useful, even if you rarely use it...

In my case I modified a 1/4-inch mono plug by cutting off most of the end where the connections are made, then filled the inside the the plug with hot-melt glue to prevent a short circuit. When the plug is in place it sits flush against the female jack, thereby eliminating any possibility of it being accidentally bumped into and damaging the circuit board. Additionally, once in place it does not have to be removed unless you want to turn the speakers on and use them as monitors.

Cheers,

Gary

Yes, you get a really good recording from the headphone outputs.
