Line Jack Question

[Rich-4]

Is it OK to use a 1/8 stereo male on the LINE IN female jack? Fred's
book shows the RING is floating so I guess having a TRS male would not
matter.

True?

Thanks

Rich

Rch,

While a mono plug would work fine, A TRS (stereo) plug will do no harm.
The ring contact on the jack is not connected.

Thank you.  That is what I thought, but hearing from the Experts gives a
sense of security

Happy 4th

I’ve always used stereo cables Lin In and Lin Out on my K3.
