Adapters

Speaker Connections

The Sonic Blaster uses the 1/8” stereo mini jack for input and output. This is the same jack used by most portable stereos.

The Bose Roommate speakers and several other brands use the 1/8” jack and will need no adapters.

If your speaker wires (or wires from your amplifier) end in phono plugs (often called RCA plugs), you’ll need the Stereo Playback Y-Adapter. It adapts phono plugs to the Sonic Blaster’s 1/8” stereo mini jack. (Radio Shack Cat. No. 274-369.)

If your speakers have button terminals (quick connect), you can get two “mini phone plugs to stripped ends” and connect it to a connector with “two 1/8” mono plugs to 1/8” stereo jack.” (2 cables--RS Cat. No. 42-2434 and I adapter--RS Cat. No. 274-375.)
