The IN/OUT is neat and tidy! What's more, it's an essential item for improving sound quality! Equipped with a Vitalizer for the INPUT/OUTPUT (dual). With signal junction box functionality (3 parallel boxes) and mute box functionality (external switch control), the AK4100 compactly integrates functions previously dispersed when building a pedal system for easy use. This new input/output interface item can be used with any pedal system configuration. ● Equipped with a dual vitalizer, it minimizes changes in the sound quality of the signal, reducing impedance, preventing changes and deterioration in sound quality when using pedal systems or long cables, and stabilizing the signal. The Vitalizer is provided on both the IN input and RETURN input lines, allowing the Vitalizer to function in any routing set. ●SEND/RETURN The layout allows efficient wiring of each input/output jack as input/output for the pedal system (board). TUNER output (can also be used as a 3-channel parabox) Normally, a tuner is connected to this, but by switching the internal switch, it can also function as a 3-parallel box. ●MUTE CTL You can mute the audio signal using a commercially available foot switch (latch type). If you've set up a pedal system using SEND/RETURN, you can mute the signal at the end of the pedal system, shutting out noise and unwanted reverberation generated within the pedal system. Pop Noise Reduction Circuit: The mute circuit uses a relay contact circuit that does not affect the sound quality. It also includes a circuit that reduces pop noise when the mute switch is turned on and off. This design is not affected by connected effects or external electrical sources, providing a stable, low-noise environment. ●POWER/MUTE(LED) The blue light will illuminate when the power is on, and the red light will flash when the power is muted. ●THRU This THRU jack has a stereo phone (TRS) structure, with two signal lines (tip and ring) and a ground line (sleeve) that are electrically independent. It can be used for a variety of purposes, from pedal systems to amplifier channel control patching, or as two signal connections to external devices. Wide-Voltage DC Input: The AK4100 can accept a wide range of AC adapters (center-tip negative, voltage-regulated type) for musical instruments, with DC power supply voltages ranging from +9V to +18V. It can also run on an internally stored 006P battery. ■SPECIFICATIONS Vitalizer x 2 Input/Output: IN, OUT, SEND, RETURN, TUNER, DC IN, MUTE CTL, THRU-THRU(TRS) ●Control: TUNER output: Always output / MUTE CTL linked operation selectable (internal slide switch) MUTE: External foot switch (latch type) Power supply: 9V battery (1 piece), DC 9-18V regulated AC adapter (sold separately) ●Size: 115(D) x 78(W) x 36(H)mm Weight: Approx. 200g (excluding batteries)
