RCA jacks are provided for three stereo line inputs, and two stereo line outputs. Depending on how you ordered your Line 2B SE, the line input gains may be different. The standard configuration is 10 dB for all inputs. Consult the invoice included with your shipment to verify the gains for your unit.

Circuit Operation______ Both channels are identical as shown in the schematic diagram. Operation will be described for the left channel. The selector switch (SW1) selects from one of the three line inputs (jacks J1–J3). Series resistors (R1) determine the gain of each line input. The maximum gain, with zero resistance, is approximately 22 dB.
