Katana line out is -10db and 1k ohm low impedance. Hook the line out to PA using a TRS 1/4 cable. You can get a 1/4 TRS to XLR cable or whatever your PA input needs. I have used the line out to another powered speaker or combo amp effects loop input for a bigger spread of sound.

You can use regular guitar cable and go to a 1/4” input on your board, or connect the cable to a DI box or snake with XLR out for a longer run. The input level at the board should match the line out without having to hit a pad button, and there should be plenty of headroom for gain and fader control.

The volume knob next to the gain knob on the Katana controls the feed to the board. The master volume has no effect, so it is perfect for stage volume control. Also make sure you have a speaker emulator on in the system editor. It will not be present in the amp speaker, but it will be in the line out feed and will round out the signal going to the PA.
