SA270 EQ2 User Guide

Connecting to the Neuro Mobile App (headphone jack)

The EQ2 also supports one-way communication between a mobile device and the pedal using the

included TRS ¼” to 1/8” cable. Connect the cable to the headphone jack of your mobile device and

Input 2 of the EQ2. The cable is a TRS (stereo) connector that uses the “Right” channel to send data

over audio signals to the pedal.

When using the headphone jack connection, we recommend using the Volume Calbration features in

the Neuro Mobile app to set test and configure the audio output for the most reliable

communication between the mobile device and pedal.

Neuro Hub

The Source Audio Neuro Hub (sold separately) unites Source Audio pedals from the Soundblox 2 and

One Series families to create a single, stage-ready effects system. It features shared MIDI, passive

expression pedal input, Hot Hand connectivity, and USB, and can connect up to five Source Audio

pedals. The Neuro Hub features a powerful scene saving functionality, which allows you to create up

to 128 multi-pedal presets known as scenes, each recallable via MIDI program change messages.

Connect the Neuro Hub to your computer via USB for updates, saving and editing multi-pedal

presets, and more. To connect the EQ2 to the Neuro hub, use a 3.5 mm TRRS cable and make a

connection between the EQ2’s CONTROL INPUT jack and any of the Neuro Hub’s multi-function

outputs. For more information, refer to the Neuro Hub documentation on the Source Audio website.
