## On some models of the AC-300 A & B, only the number 2 microphone input is functional with the "Tape Voice" jack.

### The "Tape Record" jack on the rear of the AC-200 and all AC-300 models is a "Microphone" level output signal. Hilton Audio Products makes, and recommends, an "Isolation" patch cord that allows recording into a "Line" level input directly from the speaker jacks on these model Hilton Sound Systems. We strongly recommend AGAINST using the speaker jacks to record from UNLESS you use our isolation cord or a similar device.

@ A "Recording Attenuator" cord is available from Hilton Audio Products that can help balance two track recording on these models.

"2 Track" recordings in this context refers to voice on one track and music on the other track type of recordings.

If you experience problems with recording using your Hilton Sound System please fell free to contact Hilton Audio Products, Inc. for assistance.
