Fixed and variable pre amp outputs


What is the difference between a fixed and variable pre amp output and can both be used at same time for 2 separate amps?

Well, the fixed output is just that: Fixed, invariable and unaffected by the volume control. It is most often used to feed a recorder of some sort.

The variable output is the one controlled by the volume control and used to feed the power amp(s) for listening.

You can use either/both at the same time to feed separate amps but the fixed output, obviously, would need the interposition of a volume control.
