using the cable.
You can't use the internal mic if a plug is inserted in
the INPUT jack.

cially available cable with mono plugs. Connect your
instrument to the CA-50's INPUT jack, and then connect
your amp to the OUTPUT jack. The sound of your instru-

amp, allowing you to tune or perform while the CA-50
remains connected.
Never disconnect the plug from the INPUT jack while
the OUTPUT jack is connected to your amp. When
you disconnect the plug, the internal mic will be used
automatically. If sound is received by the internal mic
at this time, acoustic feedback will occur, possibly
damaging your amp.

connections to avoid damaging your equipment.
