AUX INPUT: This amplifier includes a 1/4" (6.35mm) TRS AUX input. This TRS stereo jack sums left and right channels
from an MP-3 player, i-device, tablet. For upright players, this input can be used to plug the output of your upright's outboard
preamp into the power amplifier. The input level is set by the MASTER VOLUME control, as well as the volume control on
the external device. This signal will not be present in the DI output. On the TT-800 only, the signal insert point is after the
channel master volume controls, so the playback device's volume control must be used.
HEADPHONE OUTPUT: This 1/4" (6.35mm) TRS tip-ring-sleeve headphone output jack, will drive all common headphones
and IEM ear pieces. It is not necessary to have a speaker connected to the amp when using headphones, it is
completely safe to operate the amp without a speaker load. It's advisable to use caution whenever sticking a sound
source in your ear, as damaging volume is possible. This output should not be connected to anything but headphones,
ear buds or IEM ear pieces.
DIRECT OUTPUTS (DI OUT): This output is capable of driving balanced analog lines as long as 500 feet, is fully phantom
power protected, noise resistant and stability compensated for a reliable, low noise floor, high quality signal output to mixing
consoles and recording interfaces.
DIRECT OUTPUT SOURCE SWITCH: This switch selects the signal source routing that is used to derive the direct output
signal. In the PRE position, the signal is sourced directly from the input buffer. Muting the amplifier by the front panel mute
switch mutes this output to allow for silent tuning. In the POST position, the signal is sourced from the output of the equalizer
section and before the master volume control.
DIRECT OUTPUT LEVEL SWITCH: This switch configures the level of the direct output to either mic level or line level.
DIRECT OUTPUT PIN 1 LIFT SWITCH: This switch connects or lifts the circuit ground/earth/common connection from pin
1 on the XLR DI OUT connector to reduce noise on the DI output signal due to ground/earth loops. The general idea is to
choose the position with minimum noise.
FOOT SWITCH JACKS: When present, these are for the connection of latching foot switches which are available from your
Mesa/Boogie dealer.
USB POWER PORT: Provides power (not data) to USB devices that might be used in conjunction with practicing, recording,
jamming or even performing. It may also be used to recharge phones, MP-3 players, iPods, and other devices. Rated current
is 500mA maximum, and it conforms to the Apple USB charge current standard. This USB power port can also be used to
drive any number of USB devices, including power converters that provide 9 volt pedal power. Because pedal power devices
step up the voltage, the available current becomes ~300 mA at 9V.
