input via a standard 1/8" stereo mini plug, or optical S/PDIF digital input via an included
mini-optical adapter.The input jack automatically senses whether the input is analog or
digital.The analog input can also accept mic-level inputs, and provides plug-in power for
electret condenser microphones.
4. Optical Digital-Output Connector - This is a standard optical S/PDIF connector for
digital audio (sometimes called a TOSLink connector) that accepts a standard optical
digital cable.This port can output either PCM stereo digital audio or digitally-encoded
AC-3 or DTS pass-through. The output comes with a plastic cover that should be
removed and stored for use when transporting the Transit USB.
5. Line-Output Jack - This 1/8" mini-jack accepts a standard stereo plug, such as those used
for connection with portable audio devices and powered computer speakers. If you need
to connect the Transit to a home stereo system, you may obtain a cable or adapter with
a 1/8” stereo plug on one end and two male RCA plugs on the other.This output also
boasts an enhanced current drive for use with a pair of headphones.
