are used as secondary speakers, so that it is possible to evaluate a mix

since the levels of both outputs can be adjusted simultaneously.
If required, you can also connect a third pair of speakers, ideally with
an adjustable amplifier stage, so that you can set the volume of the
speaker pair C independently of the SPK LEVEL B + C control
