This seems to be happening a lot lately to people….
The ouput on the Kona, or any other digital video board for that matter, is inteded to feed into a mixer, deck, or audio workstation *NEVER* directly into your speakers (you risk overloading the amp and ruining the speakers) It’s a strong signal that’s output to overcome transmission and noise floor problems in a professional audio setup. A mixer let’s you split that signal specifically to your speakers so that 1) it’s at a comforatable listeneing level and 2) you have a convienant volume control right at your fingertips.
