1 RCA Inputs. Connect these to the analog
source that you would like to digitize. Any line-
level source is ne. If you’re going to digitize
vinyl, you’ll need a phono preamp, like our Mani.
2 USB Output. Connect this to the computer
you’re going to be storing your digitized music
on. It can be a Mac or PC, but you will need
software (such as Audacity) to capture and
edit your sound. You also may need to install
drivers on some PCs. They are available at

1Sample Rate Selector. Press to step between
three different sample rates—48kHz, 96kHz, or
192kHz. Jil does not do 44.1kHz multiples.
2 Sample Rate Indicators. One of these lights will
illuminate to indicate the current sample rate.
You can change the rate with the sample rate
selector button, as explained above.
3 Clipping and Overload Indicators: If the
recording level approaches clipping, the amber
LED will illuminate on peaks. If it overloads, the
controls

red LED will illuminate. Best practice is to play
the loudest part of what you want to digitize and
adjust the input gain (below) to ensure you never
get into overload.
4 Input Gain. Adjust this for your source and
your recording. If it is set too high, the clipping
and overload indicators will flash during loud
passages. Adjust the input gain so you can
record the loudest passages without clipping
and overload.
