3.3. Initial setup steps
•Connect one end of the 3.5mm Line In / Out cable to the rear port on the Bond labelled
‘OUT.’ And connect the other of the cable to a 3.5mm Line In port on your amplifier. The
headphone port on your amplifier will also work.
Note: Some amplifiers will only have an RCA input (Red / White.) If this is the case, then
you will need to purchase an additional 3.5mm to RCA cable as we do not supply this cable
with the Bond Mini.
•Locate the micro USB power cable and insert the small end into the power input on the
rear panel. Then connect the USB end to a plug with a USB input.
•The Bond Mini has no power switch so as soon as you turn on the main power, the Bond
Mini will display a blue light on the front panel.
