Line In
Line-in symbol. PC Guide color Light blue.
Line in expects the kind of voltage level and impedance that line out provides. Typically, the line out connector of one device can be connected with the line in of another. However, doing this with a straight cable directly connected to both devices and having both devices on AC power may cause a ground loop, although some devices provide isolation.
A line input has a high impedance of around 10 kΩ, as is often labeled as "Hi-Z" input (Z being the designator for impedance).

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“What comes over a man, is it soul or mind
That to no limits and bounds he can stay confined?
You would say his ambition was to extend the reach
Clear to the Arctic of every living kind.
Why is his nature forever so hard to teach
That though there is no fixed line between wrong and right,
There are roughly zones whose laws must be obeyed?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
