Connecting Clarett 2Pre 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 .(e.g., .typical .computer .speakers) .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 .Clarett2Pre.

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, .either .

on .phono .(RCA) .sockets, .or .via .a .3.5 .mm .3-pole .jack .plug .intended .for .direct .connection .to .a .computer. .

In .either .case, .use .a .suitable .connecting .cable .with .jack .plugs .at .one .end. .
