Hardware Overview
Teacher Unit Back:
Examine the back of the Teacher Unit (see Fig. 2). You can connect up to 32 student stations to the back of the Teacher Unit
using CAT5 cables (see #6). You do not need to connect all 32 stations; simply use as many student workstations as you
have in your classroom.
1.
Power: Connect the AC adapter to the power jack. Connect the included 3-prong cable to the AC adapter and then
into a standard 3-prong wall outlet.
2.
Instrument Input: Connect your teacher instrument to this input. You will mostly likely need dual TS male 1/4” (out
of your instrument) to dual TS male 1/4” (into Teacher Unit). Be sure to check the user manual of your instrument
to confirm the proper cabling for your specific device.
3.
Aux In 2: This is a stereo input to connect any external device to the Teacher Unit. Most commonly you will use
this jack for the teacher computer or audio interface. If you are going directly from the teacher computer to the
Teacher Unit, you will need a stereo 3.5mm male (out of your computer) to stereo 3.5mm male (into Teacher Unit).
If you are using an audio interface you will mostly likely need dual TS male 1/4” (out of your interface) to stereo
3.5mm male (into Teacher Unit). Be sure to check the user manual of your audio interface to confirm the proper
cabling for your specific device.
4.
Room Out: Connect your room speakers to this jack.
a.
If you have active (self-powered) speakers, use two cables (for Left/Right stereo sound) with a balanced
(TRS) 1/4” (into Teacher Unit Room Out) to the required input of your active speakers. Most commonly
your active speakers will require a balanced (TRS) 1/4” male or XLR male cable.
b.
If you have passive (unpowered) speakers, use two cables (for Left/Right stereo sound) with a balanced
(TRS) 1/4” (into Teacher Unit Room Out) to the required input of your power amplifier. Most commonly
your power amplifier will require a balanced (TRS) 1/4” male or XLR male cable. Then, connect your power
amp to your passive speakers.

TIP:
The 3-prong cable is a standard cable that often comes with other electronic devices such as monitor speakers and
computer towers. These cables are interchangeable.
TIP:
Turn your power amp or active speakers ON last and OFF first to avoid pops.
