True to the Music
3.5mm TRS stereo input
This is a standard connector used on notebook
computers and personal music players. It uses a mini
Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) jack in a stereo confi guration.
When used with the -15dB PAD, this input can be used
with headphone level outputs. When using a headphone
output as a source, be sure to turn down the headphone
level to minimum. Even with the -15dB PAD a headphone
Notebook PC with single stereo 3.5mm cable
amplifi er can overload the JPC when it's level is not set
to minimum.
RCA stereo inputs
These jacks accept unbalanced, consumer audio signals.
Virtually any audio output that appears on an RCA
connector can be connected to this input. This includes a
long list of electronics like CD players, cassette recorders,
AM/FM tuners, video cassette recorders, etc.
Cass, CD, or VCR connected with stereo RCA cable
RCA thru-puts
A duplicate of the input signal is available at the RCA
thru-put connectors. This feature can come in handy to
split the signal to a second mixer or tape recorder.
Un-used connectors as thru-puts
All of the JPC's input connectors are parallelled together.
This means that any unused inputs can also be a thru-
put to split the stereo signal and/or adapt one format
connector to another. For example, one can connect a
CD player using the RCA stereo input jacks and use the
3.5mm jack as a thru-put to split the signal to a notebook
computer. It also works the other way. When the 3.5mm
3.5mm input used as thru-put to connect laptop
jack is used as an input, the RCA thru-puts can be used
to connect a recorder or second mixer. Clever!
