   When the [SPEAKER OFF] switch is pushed in, 

and audio signals are applied to the [INPUT A] or 

[INPUT B] jack, the Speaker OFF LED flickers

SPEAKER ON/OFF SWITCH [SPEAKER OFF]

   Push to turn the speaker or headphone audio out-

put ON or OFF. 

  • Released (

)  : The audio is output.

  • Pushed in (

)  : The audio is muted.

   Regardless of the [SPEAKER OFF] switch position, 

audio signals are output from the [OUTPUT] jack.

 

  

NOTE:

 If no sound is heard from both the speaker 

and headphones, make sure the [SPEAKER OFF] 

switch is not in the pushed in position.

FILTER SELECTOR SWITCHES 
[HPF1], [HPF2], [LPF1], [LPF2]

 

 

Push to select the internal audio filters that consist of 
high-pass and low-pass filters, with two different cut-off 
frequency characteristics for each filter. They are use-

ful in producing a customized, personal audio sound.

  • [HPF1] SWITCH

     Cuts off audio output frequencies of approximately 

300 Hz or less when the switch is pushed in.

  • [HPF2] SWITCH

     Cuts off audio output frequencies of approximately 

600 Hz or less when the switch is pushed in.

  • [LPF1] SWITCH

     Cuts off audio output frequencies of approximately 

2.4 kHz or more when the switch is pushed in.

  • [LPF2] SWITCH

     Cuts off audio output frequencies of approximately 

800 Hz or more when the switch is pushed in.

 

  

NOTE:

  When  both  the  [HPF1]  and  [HPF2] 

switches are pushed in, priority is given to the 

[HPF2] switch over the [HPF1] switch. Also in the 
[LPF1] and [LPF2] case, priority is given to the 
[LPF2] switch over the [LPF1]

 switch.

HEADPHONES JACK [PHONES]

 

 

Connect a pair of headphones (impedance: 4–16 

Ω

to this jack, if desired. The built-in speaker does not 
function while the [PHONES] jack is being used.

y

 

INPUT JACKS [INPUT A], [INPUT B]

 

 

Audio signals are applied to [INPUT A] or [INPUT 

B]. Use the supplied audio cable to connect be

-

tween either jack and the external speaker jack on 
your transceiver or receiver. The SP-34 can be con-
nected to two transceivers or receivers using these 
jacks.

u

 

OUTPUT JACK [OUTPUT]

 

 

This  jack  outputs  audio  signals  after  they  pass 
through the audio filters specified by the front panel 
filter selector switches. This is useful when operat-
ing terminal units such as RTTY, PSK31 or other 
data communication modes.

   Regardless of the [SPEAKER OFF] switch position, 

audio signals are output from this jack.

  

NOTE:

 When the [SPEAKER OFF] switch is pushed 

in,  be  sure  to  turn  OFF  all  of  the  filters  [HPF1], 
[HPF2], [LPF1] and [LPF2].

  Otherwise  the  audio  signals  from  the  [OUTPUT] 

jack might be affected.
