FIGURE 3. 

 
TELEPHONE:  Connect telephone wires to the input screw terminals marked TIP and RING.  Set TEL/MIC 1 Switch to 
TEL position.  For connection to unused CO trunk port, see Figure 7.  For connection to CO line, Centrex line or Analog 
Station port, a Wheelock TPI-100 Interface is required. 
MICROPHONE:  Connect balanced low-impedance microphone wires to the input screw terminals marked LO-Z.  The 
shield must be connected to the GND screw terminals.  An unbalanced microphone may be connected to the same screw 
terminals.  However, one of the two LO-Z terminals for that input must be connected to the adjacent screw terminal 
marked GND.  Use an external piece of wire to form a jumper, and secure between one LO-Z screw terminal and the 
GND screw terminal. 
 

CAUTION: 

   TO AVOID POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE, THE MICROPHONE INPUT CABLE 
   MUST BE A SHIELDED CABLE WITH THE SHIELD CONNECTED TO GND. 

 
MIC 2 is a dedicated input, while for MIC 1 input to be activated - the TEL/MIC 1 switch must be in the MIC 1 position.  
With the selection mode switch in the MIC 1 position the TEL input is disconnected. 
 

HI-Z INPUTS:  AUX 1, AUX 2 

 

 

 

FIGURE 4. 

 
To connect an FM tuner, CD player or cassette to either the AUX 1 or AUX 2 input jacks, use a single conductor shielded 
cable terminated in a standard RCA type phono plug. 
 
The mode selector switch on the front panel must be set to either the AUX 1 or AUX 2 position. 
 

TAPE/BOOSTER OUTPUT

P81932 H 

SHEET 4 OF 7 

To connect a cassette recorder to the TPA-60 or TPA-100, use a single conductor shielded cable terminated in a 
standard RCA type phono plug.  One side will plug into the tape/booster output jack, while the other side will plug-in to the 
RECORD INPUT jack of the cassette recorder.
