Using the Media Connector
The Media Connector can be used as the primary volume control for the audio
sources you’ve connected.
1. Plug the micro USB end of the power cable into the USB port on the back
of the Media Connector. Plug the other end of the cable into the USB power
adaptor. Also, the USB cable could be plugged into a computer for power.
2. Connect the audio source(s) to the Media Connector using the 3.5mm cables
provided.
3. Set the audio source volume to provide sound through the Redcat.
4. Use the AUDIO IN volume control on the front of the Media Connector to
increase or decrease the audio source sound level.
NOTE: When Media Connector is powered on and registered to Redcat, only its
microphone volume and tone controls are operational while those on the Redcat
are not.
NORMALIZING AUDIO SOURCE VOLUME LEVELS
Use the Media Connector as the master audio volume control for the classroom.
When two or more audio sources are connected, you will need to normalize
volume settings by setting all connected audio sources to the same sound level
while leaving the Media Connector AUDIO IN volume control set to its center
setting. The Media Connector is an audio mixer using a master volume control to
adjust the volume of all audio sources at once. Use the following procedure to set
audio source volumes:
1. Connect the multimedia audio sources to the Media Connector using the
3.5mm cables provided.
2. Set the AUDIO IN volume control on the Media Connector to its center
position.
3. Turn on an audio source that does not have an accessible audio level control.
(DVD, VCR player)
4. Adjust the Media Connector AUDIO IN volume control so the audio level playing
through the speaker is appropriate for the classroom.
5. Turn o the first audio source.
6. Turn on the second audio source. Use its volume control to balance the audio
output to the same audio level played through the speaker as the first source
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the remaining audio sources.
8. Now, the Media Connector’s AUDIO IN volume can be used to increase or
decrease the volume level for all audio sources as desired.
