D- Plug for connecting to the sound card's gameport.
Through this phono PreAmp receives its power. The gameport is channeled through and can still be used, for example, to connect a joystick.
Stereo Line Out.
The line output is connected to the line in (input) of the sound card.
The output level of phono PreAmp can be adapted to the needed input sensitivity of almost all sound cards. Please do not use a microphone input (if applicable) for this, as they are designed for a far lower and usually mono input level.
