Audio input captive screw connector (MTP T SV A,
MTP T AV) — Connect a balanced or unbalanced audio input
to this 3.5 mm, 5‑pole captive screw connector. Connectors are
included with each MTP. See Figure 1‑2 to wire a connector
for the appropriate input type. Use the supplied tie‑wrap to
strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the connector. High
impedance is generally over 800 ohms.
Do not tin the wires!

The length of exposed wires is critical. Ideal length is
3/16" (5 mm). If the stripped section of wire is longer
than 3/16", the exposed wires may touch, causing a short
circuit. If the stripped section of wire is shorter, wires can
easily be pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive
screws.
When making connections from existing audio cables see
Figure 1-3. A mono audio connector consists of the tip and
sleeve. A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring,
and sleeve.
