Aux Level
(Stereo)
The Auxiliary level control is used to set the level of background/track music
from MP3 players, CD players or other audio sources.
This input accepts a standard ¼ inch TS or TRS plug. Most MP3 players require a
1/8 inch TRS plug. Accordingly, a 1/8 inch-to-1/4 inch TRS cable is supplied
with the TCA-500C. Some CD players still utilize separate RCA jacks and
therefore require a dual RCA plug (male) to ¼ inch TRS plug cable. These are
readily available at most home entertainment electronics stores and are generally
stocked at Telonics as well.
As such, the Auxiliary Input is not designed for low-level instrument signals.
HOWEVER, it may also be used as a second channel input from an external
source such as a preamp and/or effects chain. For example, a musician who
doubles on a second instrument might connect the output of a preamp,
compressor and/or other EFX units following his instrument to the Aux input on
the rear panel of the TCA-500C, thus providing for quick switching to a Tele,
MandoCaster, mandolin, or other instrument.
Note: the Aux Input ties in after the EQ and Dry/Wet controls. You can only
control the level of this signal.
