Connecting an audio processor to the RP-9:
The RP-9 has a processor loop which allows various types of processors
(equalizer, room correction, bass enhancement, etc.. ) to be used. There are two
sets of RCA jacks on the rear of the preamp labeled “from proc” and “to proc”.
Connect the processor “to proc” on the rear of the RP-9 to the inputs on your
processor. Connect the outputs of the processor to the jacks labeled “from proc”
on the rear of the RP-9. When the processor button is pushed a blue LED below
the button will indicate that the source signal is going through the processor. With
the button out the signal bypasses the processor. Note that if no processor is
connected and the button is pushed then the signal is interrupted and there will be
no output from the preamplifier. This feature is also accessible via the hand held
remote.
Connecting the RP-9 to the power amplifier:
There are four pairs of variable (preamplifier) outputs on the RP-9. Two pairs are
RCA and two pairs are balanced XLR connectors. These volume controlled
outputs are used to connect the RP-9 to your power amplifier and any other device
requiring a variable output (e.g. a subwoofer or a second amplifier).
Connecting a subwoofer:
The second set of preamplifier outputs can be used for connecting a subwoofer to
the RP-9. The signal to these outputs is identical to the signal going to the power
amp and varies with the volume control. Note that these outputs can also be used
for biamping or running a second power amp located elsewhere.
Connection to the fixed outputs:
The RP-9 has one pair of fixed outputs. These outputs are connected to the source
and will output whatever signal is being used for the preamp. The volume is
“fixed” and does not vary with the volume control. You can use these to feed a
signal to an external headphone amp or a cd burner, etc….
