Connecting Clarett 2Pre USB to loudspeakers
The 1/4” jack LINE OUTPUTS 1 and 2 on the rear panel will normally be used to drive monitoring
speakers. Self-powered monitors incorporate internal amplifiers, and may be connected directly.
Passive loudspeakers will require a separate stereo amplifier; in this case, the outputs should be
connected to the amplifier’s inputs.
Professional equipment will generally have balanced inputs. If your amplifier or powered speakers
have balanced inputs, use 3-pole (TRS) 1/4” jacks to connect them to the Clarett 2Pre USB.
All the line output connectors are 3-pole (TRS) ¼” jack sockets, and are electronically balanced.
Typical consumer (hi-fi) amplifiers and small powered monitors will have unbalanced inputs on RCA
sockets.
