CONNECTIVITY
METHOD 1
Used in-between the Record output on the amplifier and the chosen connected device.
The Ear will amplify any signal fed to the output sockets.
Connect the two sockets on the back marked INPUT (Red = Right, Black = Left) to the
amplifier output sockets. The two sockets on the back marked LINK (Red = Right, Black
= Left) are connected to the input (record) sockets on the recording device. The mute
on the front panel will mute the signal to the chosen device. The volume control on the
amplifier will not affect the volume level of the headphones; use the volume control on
the Ear to adjust the level of the headphones.
METHOD 2
The Ear can act as a stand alone amplifier that will amplify any signal fed into the input
sockets.
Connect the two sockets on the back marked INPUT (Red = Right, Black = Left) to the
source output sockets (CD, Tuner or other digital device). The sockets on the back
marked LINK (Red = Right, Black = Left) could be used to feed the signal to another
amplifier if required. The volume control on the Ear may be used to adjust the level of
the headphones.
