Hello all. I had to downsize my home theater gear when moving into a new place, and scored a set of Edifier S350DB on Facebook marketplace dirt cheap. Nothing super special, but they get the job done and I don't have to worry about my roommates trashing my nicer gear.
I am hoping to use the two RCA inputs on the back for a turntable (outboard preamp) and tape deck, and noticed that they were labeled "PC" and "AUX" respectively. This was presumably due to the two most likely use cases for them, but I figured I'd check the spec sheet and make sure they were actually the same.
Lo and behold - on Edifier's website, it says that the "PC" RCA jacks have the following input sensitivity:
Meanwhile, the "AUX" labeled RCA jacks have:
I am not an audio engineer, just a hobbyist. I have no idea what input sensitivity means in a practical sense for my use case. Is it okay to plug my gear in like they're normal RCAs? I was thinking TT into the PC jack and tape deck into the AUX one. What even is a "standard" input sensitivity for RCA jacks?
