Is Pre-out the same as line out?
Line out is *normally* a fixed voltage signal unaffected by the volume control. Pre-out is normally a variable signal since it is intended to be connected to a power amp, in this case adjusting the volume control adjusts the output signal level as a power amp is traditionally fixed gain.
What is a pre line out?
Pre-outs will be a volume control. Line out will be X amount full blast at all times. If you’re feeding an amplifier with a volume knob on it then you want a line out or you just keep your pre-out up high. If you have a power amp(no volume knob) then you NEED a pre-out to control volume. 2.
What if my receiver doesn’t have pre-outs?
Re: Using an external amp with a receiver without pre-outs You can take the “tape rec out” of the receiver and feed it to the pre-amp. That will give you a fixed out, rather than variable, and the pre-amp will control the output to the power amp for the front L & R volume levels.
What is Pre-Out and Main in?
The pre-out on the NAD receiver is for connecting an external amp. The main-in is for conecting an external source that has its own volume control.
What is preamp out used for?
The preamp output connection is intended to feed effects processors and recording gear. You could also use it to feed the power amp input on another amp. The power amp input connection is intended to receive signal from an effects processor or the preamp output from another amplifier.
Can I use pre-out for subwoofer?
Subwoofers have their own internal amplifier, and it is often beneficial to use a pre-out connection in this scenario. However, they can also be used to add all kinds of channels to your home theater.
How do you use a pre out subwoofer?
Just plug the subwoofer cable into your receiver’s subwoofer pre-out and the other end into the Y-adapter on your sub (which is connected to the left and right RCA line-in inputs). Then make sure the power plug is connected to an outlet (hopefully in a surge protector) and you’re finished.
Can I use two different subwoofers?
Yes. You can run two different subs. It’s optimal to run two of the same because in your case, the weaker sub may reach it’s limits before the stronger one.
How do I connect my subwoofer to my AV Receiver?
Using a subwoofer cable (RCA cable), connect the subwoofer to the AV receiver by running the cable from the receiver’s subwoofer output to the subwoofer’s line input. Klipsch subwoofers can be connected via the LFE channel, the white RCA connection, or in a stereo pair by using both the white and red RCA connections.
Can you connect a subwoofer to a vintage receiver?
A subwoofer with speaker-level inputs is especially easy to connect to your older amplifier or receiver! To do so, just connect to the speaker outputs on the source unit using speaker wire and then to the matching inputs on the subwoofer. You can even power speakers from the amp or receiver at the same time.
How do I connect my subwoofer to left and right input?
If the subwoofer’s ‘Line In’ uses RCA cables (and if the subwoofer out on the receiver/amplifier also uses RCA), simply plug using an RCA cable and choose either the R or L port on the subwoofer. If the cable is split on one end (a y-cable for both right and left channels), then plug in both.
Does a subwoofer need left and right input?
Most subwoofers have both a left & right input. It usually doesn’t matter which one you use. If you are using more than one subwoofer, you can run the same kind of cable from the subwoofer’s “line out” or “low level out” to the next subwoofer.
What cable do I need to connect subwoofer to receiver?
The low-level input on your subwoofer will usually require a single RCA cable to connect to your AV receiver. Although you can buy dedicated ‘subwoofer cables’, you don’t have to buy one of these if you don’t want to. Any RCA interconnect will work.
Is a subwoofer cable just an RCA cable?
you can use a standard RCA cable, but a subwoofer cable is suggested as it has more shield in it and provides more clarity and resolution. a subwoofer cable comes with a standard RCA connector but is thicker than the standard RCA cable.
