Line Level Signals

The normal wiring for line level signals is:

• Signal Hot to pin 5

• Signal Gnd to pin 1

• Pin 4 jumped to pin 1

This allows signal levels up to 3V RMS to be applied

without limiting.

If more headroom is needed, insert a 20 k resistor in

series with pin 5. Put this resistor inside the TA5F con-

nector to minimize noise pickup.
