Can I use the rca mic inputs on my Kenwood KA-6000 for cd player or Ipod? just curious. Is this basically just another line level input? The mic sensitivity is 2mv aux is 200 mv
thanks

If the line level sensitivity is 200Mv
and the Mic is 2 Mv, then there is an additional gainstage behind the Mic inputs to boost the signal before the 'line-stage'
so yes you can use it - if the CDP has a variable output, so that you can trim DOWN the CDP output - or
remember to Turn DOWN the Volume before switching to the Mic input....
Happy Listening
Jsjazz, your Kenwood's mic input is probably mono, with its' own pre-amp circuit. If so, you'll probably only get one channel, which will be unpleasantly distorted from too much gain. Or so it's been with every vintage receiver equipped with mike input which has passed through moi's audio arsenal. Be it Kenwood, Pioneer, or Sansui. Sometimes that mike feed will only be in one channel (Kenwood KR-5150 has two separate mono mike inputs for left & right channels). Makes for a unique-sounding vintage-quality clean channel with bass and/or guitar, too. As long as you use instrument speakers. Most stereo speakers won't be able to withstand that intense aural abuse. Sony's legendary ICF-2010 also sounds exquisite through vintage mike inputs. 73s para Sactown
thanks. that makes a lot of sense. I appreciate the follow ups
