Home audio power amplifiers also have "Line" level inputs, but they have very little in the way of volume and tone controls and switching. They simply amplify the signal. These are not recommended for connecting to your computer. We recommend a stereo 3. The longer the length of the cable run, the more the quality of the cable will effect sound quality. Specifically, the lower the capacitance per foot of the cable, the less high frequency loss there will be.
You can use the same cabling options to go the other way. You can then edit the audio files and playback music directly from your computer; and, even better, convert the files to wav, lossless or MP3's with the appropriate software for subsequent transfer to mobile devices.
To accomplish this, you need to connect the audio input of your computer to the audio output of your stereo receiver. We recommend a 3. If it's a "mic" input you may have to tweak the levels down, since mics usually have a very low output. You then connect the RCA jack stereo ends to the main audio output of your stereo receiver, if it has one, or to a routable output such as one of the "tape" output jacks.
Many audio systems have tape ins and outs so you can connect up your computer through these to use it as a tape recorder as well as a sound source. Example Connections: 3. Custom made in the U. Many of us have old cassette tapes or other ancient audio sources that we want to preserve or combine to create custom playlists. Computer recording software is perfect for this purpose. Assuming your computer is loaded with the appropriate computer recording software, you will need to connect the audio input of your computer to the audio output of your tape deck or cd player.
You then connect the RCA jack stereo ends to the audio output of your tape deck or cd player, such as one of the "tape" output jacks. Getting a good cassette deck in late is clearly half the battle to doing some cassette tape archiving. Yes, you can still buy them new, but in this case it's worse than buying a car, once you leave the showroom, they are worth a fraction of what you just paid. Buying online used decks from eBay is also very tricky, and if you are not careful you can waste a lot of money!
First - never buy an "as is" cassette deck. These things are outlived by fruit flies. The person who put it up probably tested it for a total of five minutes and it will certainly start eating tapes after 15 minutes of use - just when you thought it was ok and put in your priceless recording of Uncle Ralph singing "My Way".
Don't be fooled by recognizable brands unless they are studio tough brands like Tascam or Nakamichi. Even these you need to be skeptical about. Cassette decks are all about rubber belts, rubber wheels, "heads" that wear out and buttons that wear out.
If you can't get a 30 day guaranty, at least get a promise that it will work for a week. Don't rush, one will come along at a good price. There are just not that many people dying to buy 20 year-old technology!
The added benefit of paying more for a studio quality deck is that you should have no trouble selling it later. Schools, Universities and Professional audio Archivists continually find new recordings that are worthy of digitizing, so a top notch Deck like a Nakamichi Dragon or a Tascam Mk III is not going to lose you much money, if any in a future sale. Just get it cheap and guaranteed! Finally, don't expect miracles. That tape you spilled champagne on in the limo to the prom is not going to work in ANY cassette player!
Even if in normal condition, some of those old tapes may be so degraded that only a professional archivist can safely get the sound off of the tape. Have you ever tried to put a tape into a new shell? Trust me, surgeons don't want that kind of ordeal. At times they have to go to extreme measures which you and I are not just too lazy or uncoordinated enough to do, but also, not educated enough in the weird skill set required, to do.
Professional Audio archiving is a weird science requiring mechanics, chemistry, computer, math and manual dexterity skills.
So if you have content that is really critical, you should at least consult a pro for pricing. Of course, uncle Ralph singing "Like a Virgin" in drag may be a hilarious memory, but it may not be worth the price of a professional archiving job. Assuming you have the software you need, the first thing to do is check the buttons, switches and connections and get the deck ready to work with your sound card. When recording from the radio you should turn on the mpx filter.

Mr5oh Distinguished. Jul 28, 75 0 18, JackNaylorPE :. Those are "Speaker wires" Check out the Pyle products here or use what they used to be connected to provided you can match the PCs output with the unit's input. JackNaylorPE Distinguished. Oct 30, 1, 0 20, On the back it has these I'n not very familiar with these kind of amps. I found some sort of manual but im still pretty lost on how to connect such a thing.
EDIT: I know a local shop that sells all kinds of different cables, so im sure i can get anything i need there. Jan 1, 0 12, You just need a cable that looks like this. I wasn't suggesting buying from amazon Most on board sound today has 6 OFC audio jacks. So i connect my speakers to the amp, then connect one end of the 3. It doesn't necessarily need to be plugged into "phono", you could plug it into any of those ports you would flip the receiver to that item.
