Headphones Jack

Connect a pair of dynamic headphones with a 1/4” (0.635cm) stereo phone type plug to the Headphones Jack for private listening.

Output Meters

The C2300’s Output Meters indicate the Output Voltage available at the MAIN and OUTPUT 1 & 2 Jacks to drive Power Amplifiers. Refer to figure 27. The Meters are cali- brated in dB

(decibels) and

respond to all

the peaks con- tained in the

musical infor- mation. They indicate to an

accuracy of at least 95% of a single cycle from a 2000Hz tone burst.

The Meter Electronic Circuitry “Time Stretches” the Meter Drive Signal so the Meter Pointer pauses just long enough for the human eye to see it and is followed by a moderate decay rate.
