Connecting Clarett+ 4Pre 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 have 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.
Stereo amplifier
Professional power amplifiers will generally have balanced inputs. If your amplifier or powered
speakers have balanced inputs, use 3-pole (TRS) ¼” jacks to connect them to the Clarett+ 4Pre.
All 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.
