•To be able to use analog audio, the BKMA-570 analog audio expansion unit is also necessary.

•The R3 port does not support analog input when the configuration is 3 input/1 output. Even if the BKMA- 513 is installed, the analog inputs and outputs are

2 input/1 output.

•Cannot input analog SS signals in SS mode.

Analog Audio Expansion Unit BKMA-570

This expansion unit connects to the AUDIO I/O ports of the MAV-555SS with the supplied interface cable, and allows the MAV-555SS to use analog audio inputs and outputs.
