Input and Output Devices.

•  Microphone for input:
   3.5mm mini jack connector / max. 600 Ohms impedance (CARDIOID pickup pattern)  cable length <= 1.8 meters (6 feet) / Open circuit voltage sensitivity level between  -60 (more sensitive) and -80 db (less sensitive).   NOTE: Microphone sensitivity is based on 0db = 1 volt per micro bar.
    More sensitive microphones allow table top use. Less sensitive microphones
    generally require hand-held operation.  Frequency response (frequency curve) depends on desired quality and application.

  Guidelines: 

    Music applications: 20 Hz to 20 KHz 3.5 db
    Speech applications: 50 Hz to 12 KHz 5 db

•  Speakers:
   4-8 ohms Shielded cables with 3.5mm stereo mini jack connectors to plug into the Audio Adapter  and connectors on the other end to match the speakers.
•  Headphones:
   8 ohm minimum / 3.5mm stereo mini jack.
•  Line Input/Output cables:
   Shielded cables with 3.5mm stereo mini jack connectors to plug into the  Audio Adapter with connectors on the other end to match to the other audio equipment
   (typically this will be male RCA jacks or Chinch connectors)

Some IMPORTANT

    The best audio quality (Signal to Noise ratio) from the ACPA may be
    obtained by adhering to the following guidelines:
     a. For optimum performance, place the ACPA as far as possible
        from other adapters.
     b. The computer should have its cover on and secured. All
        unoccupied board slots should have a metal bracket installed.
     c. The cables used with ACPA should be shielded, as short as
        possible (less than 1.8meters (6 ft.)), and not tangled. Attempt
        to place the audio and video cables at maximum distance from
        each other.
     d. Avoid unnecessary plugging and un-plugging connections to the
        ACPA as this tends to degrade the quality of the cable to
        board connection.

Available Diagnostics

From the ACPA-Adapter Diskette, (shipped with the adapter) copy one file (using the command)
>COPY A:\DIAG\ACPADIAG.EXE C:\ACPA to the harddisk

Remove the Diskette from drive A: and change to the C: drive
and the ACPA directory and enter ...
ACPADIAG for basic test or ACPADIAG /A ... for advanced testing.
(The tests should start, guidance is available by screenoutput)

Jumper setting

1.  Microchannel Adapter/A
    No jumper setup is required (the jumper on JPR4 must be as shown).
2.  AT-Bus Adapter  The jumper on JPR6 must be as shown.
