Is out there anyone who could explain me how correctly connect a headphone
to the analog output RCA connectors of the Terratec Phase 88 audio card?
The output level can be adjusted either at -10bBV or +4dBu (i.e. 0.56Vms and
2.1Vms).
Tnx everyone.

-- You can't connect headphones to any of output pairs at Phase 88
directly. However, connecting a a headphone amplifier firstly will do.

You can hear something from most headphones when conected to a +4 dBu
output, but it won't sound very loud and may not sound very good, plus
you have no volume control. The explanation of how to wire an adapter
(you surely can't buy one off the shelf) and the consideration of the
possible options is too complex for someone who has to ask to
understand easily.

I'd suggest that you get a headphone amplifier, or even use a surplus
stereo receiver with an "Aux" input (connect it to the RCA -10 dBV
jacks) and a headphone jack.

The headphone amplifier plugs into the sound card. The headphones plug into
the headphone amplifier. The Headwize is a good inexpensive one.

Try connecting them directly set to +4. There may be enough power to
drive them. Really there should be an external amplifier between
card and headphones.

I belive that at this point his problem is mechanical, not electrical.
He doesn't know how to make the one headphone plug fit into the two
output jacks.

First, thnks averyone for the info.

The mechanic problem was conditioned by the electric but....
Connecting the headphone with a simple adapter (RCA to 1/4"jack) even
without ampli I had a decent signal.
Anyway I will look for an headphone ampli.

Bye
