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 ampliers, and may be connected directly.
Passive loudspeakers will require a separate stereo amplier; in this case, the outputs should be
connected to the amplier’s inputs.
Professional equipment will generally have balanced inputs. If your amplier 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-) ampliers and small powered monitors will have unbalanced inputs on RCA
sockets.
