2.1 

SK6 Speaker/ Line signals 

 

This socket allows for stereo speakers/headphone signals to be input, matched and attenuated. 

  

The input connection Tip is connected to Channel 1 of the NEDSP900 module, while the first 
Ring is connected to Channel 2 of the module.  Each channel has attenuation/matching facilities 
that can be selected using Jumpers JP 1 through to JP4 as given in the table below: 

 

 

Low Impedance 
Speaker Level 
(8 Ohms/3 Watts) 

Low Impedance 
Headphone Level (33 
Ohms/30mW) 

High Impedance 
Line level (10k 
Ohm/ 0.707 v p-p) 

Input 1- Ring 

JP1 (Not JP3) 

JP3 (Not JP1) 

None 

Input 2 - Tip 

JP4 (Not JP2) 

JP2 (Not JP4) 

None 

 

Below is a picture to assist in the location of the above jumpers.

Note: For Line levels, the Jumpers are removed altogether. 

 

2.2 

SK7 Microphone Input signals 

 

A standard 3.5mm stereo jack socket is provided such that a Condenser Electret or other 
microphone may be connected to channel 1 only as this has higher gain settings and an AGC 
function that can be used if required.   

 
When using SK7, ensure that JP8 (Mic) is removed 
(this ensures no speaker signal is fed to Channel 1).  
Speaker level signals will only be taken from the 
Ring connection of SK6. 

2.2.2  Electret Microphone Bias 

 
Most Electret microphones require some form of 
electrical bias.  In some this is provide by an
