Audio Connectors

Audio connectors allow you to connect to amplifiers, speakers, headphones, microphones, sound systems, or TVs for digital audio output.

Types of audio connectors

Microphone connector

— Connect a personal computer microphone for voice or sound input.

Line-in connector

— Connect a recording/playback device such as a cassette player, CD player, or VCR.

Line-out connector

— Connect headphones or speakers with integrated amplifiers.

Rear surround out

— Connect multichannel-capable speakers.

Center/LFE surround out

— Connect a single subwoofer.

NOTE

: The Low Frequency Effects (LFE) audio channel, found in digital surround sound audio schemes, carries only frequency information

(80 Hz and below). The LFE channel drives a subwoofer to provide extremely low bass extension. Systems not using subwoofers can shunt

the LFE information to the main speakers in the surround sound setup.

Side surround sound connector

— Connect additional speakers.

RCA S/PDIF connector

— Transmit digital audio without the need of analog audio conversion.

Optical S/PDIF connector

— Transmit digital audio without the need of analog audio conversion.

5.1 Audio

5.1 refers to the number of audio channels in most surround-sound configurations. A 5.1 audio system uses five main audio channels (front left, front right,

center, left surround, and right surround) and one low-frequency audio channel.

7.1 Audio

7.1 refers to the number of audio channels in high-end surround-sound configurations. A 7.1 audio system uses two additional speakers (rear left and rear

right) in combination with the 5.1 audio system.

NOTE:

5.1 or 7.1 audio may not be supported on all computers.

NOTE:

On computers with a discrete sound card, connect the speakers to the connectors on the card.
