Audio input captive screw connector (MTP T SV A,
MTP T AV) — Connect a balanced or unbalanced audio input
to this 3.5 mm, 5‑pole captive screw connector. Connectors are
included with each MTP. See Figure 1‑2 to wire a connector
for the appropriate input type. Use the supplied tie‑wrap to
strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the connector. High
impedance is generally over 800 ohms.

C The length of exposed wires is critical. Ideal length is
3/16” (5 mm). If the stripped section of wire is longer
than 3/16”, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short
circuit. If the stripped section of wire is shorter, wires can
easily be pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive
screws.
N When making connections from existing audio cables see
Figure 1-3. A mono audio connector consists of the tip and
sleeve. A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring,
and sleeve.
