Speaker Jack 

To connect to the control head, your external speaker must be wired to the tip 

and outer portions of a 

3.5 

mm stereo phone jack. The speaker amplifier is designed to 

accommodate 

4- 

or 8-Ohm speakers. The 4-Ohm speaker will give twice the audio output, 

assuming both speakers are equally efficient.  If you want to route the audio through your 
computer's sound card, you will need to run a cable (not supplied) from the control head's 
speaker jack 

to 

the audio input jack on your sound card.  You must then connect the speaker t o  

your sound card's audio output jack.

Headphones in the 

4-

2000-Ohm impedance range may be plugged into the 

phone jack.  A series resistor automatically compensates for various impedance levels.  The 

external speaker is disabled when the phones are plugged into the control head.

Three rear panel connectors are provided to allow the use 

of
