   Accepts either 1x 3.5mm mini jack (ideal for use with phones, tablets, laptops), or 2x Unbalanced RCA inputs. Only one of these can be used at a time.
4. OUTPUT
   Audio signals routed from each input are sent through this output. This is a line level signal.
5. POWER SWITCH
   Used to turn the speaker ON or OFF.
6. IEC SOCKET
   For connecting to a mains power supply using the supplied IEC power cable. A fuse is included within the IEC socket for added protection - if the fuse fails, ensure it is replaced with a fuse of the same type and rating.
