Connecting Your Portable Micro Amp
Hook the Micro Amp to your iPod, portable CD play-
er, or any other source with a headphone jack using
a mini-mini cable. If your source happens to have a
line-output, then even better; use the line output
rather than the headphone jack (using line-out will
completely bypass the player’s volume control alt-
0gether).
Simply run the mini-mini cable from the line-out or headphone jack of your player into
the line input on the front of the amp.
Connecting the Micro Amp to Analog source:
If your CD player has a set of RCA outputs, an RCA to Mini Cable will allow you to con-
nect the RCA outputs of your player into the line input on the Micro Amp. Be sure to
note that as always, red or ‘R’, designates right channel on RCA inputs.

Now, for the best part: simply plug
your headphones into the head-
phone jack one on the front of the
Micro Amp (be sure to turn the vol-
ume down first). If your headphone
jack is a 1/4” termination, or if you
need to power more than one pair of
headphones, please see our expla-
nation in #1 on page 2.

Inputs
You can use your Micro Amp as a miniature pre-amp for self powered speakers. Most
self-powered speakers have RCA inputs, in which case you will use a mini-RCA cable
to attach to the Micro Amp. Attach the mini end of your cable to the pre-amp output of
the Micro Amp. Plug the other RCA cables into the back of your speakers. If your self-
powered speakers have a mini input, use a mini-mini cable to connect your Micro Amp.
