Greetings,
Pardon me if this is the wrong sub-forum for this question.
Is it possible to simply connect via patch cord from the speaker output on unit A to the music/soud/mic input on unit B. Or, from a stereo reciever?

Thanks,
Jack :cool:

Welcome to PCMech, smilinjack :)

If you can, go from the headphones jack on the stereo to the line-in jack on the computer.

Please don't...you'll blow the input on unit B. Speaker outputs are wattage dependant - the more you turn up the volume, the more wattage is released through the line. A mic or line input is expecting a much lower input level - measured in dBv (decibel voltage).

If unit A has an auxilliary output, use that. If it doesn't, the headphone jack could be used, but keep the volume low. On unit B, don't use a mic input - it's expecting a very low input range (-50dBv to -100 dBv). Use a line level (sometimes called music or tape input) input on B - the level it's expecting is either -3 dBv or 0 dBv.
