by a dc voltage via an external VCA (Voltage Controlled Ampli-

1. Connect the tip of a 1/4-in. connector to the line input of
the VCA, and the sleeve to the ground of the VCA.
2. Connect the ring to the line output of the VCA.
3. Plug the 1/4-in. connector to the Insert jack of the
SCM800.
4. Set the channel level control should be set to 5.
For Aux In control:
1. Connect the external source to the VCA line input.
2. Connect the VCA line output to the tip and sleeve of the
SCM800 Aux input.
3. Set the Aux control to 5.
For Master control:
1. Connect SCM800 Line output to the VCA line input.
2. Connect the VCA line output to the external device (amplifi-
er, tape recorder, etc.).
