I am going to be purchasing a preamp (CJ Premier 10) with one pair of outputs. If I have two active subwoofers that I can connect mono (one run to each), am I okay splitting the signal at the Premier 10 with y-adapters at each terminal, one in each pair (channel) going to amplifier, and the other going to a [powered] subwoofer? Will this result in a signal quality loss? Can I split again to make it a three way split? Thanks for your help!
How to split pre out to connect power amp and sub
Hello !
I'm really getting confused about this one, so please help me !
I recently bought a Shanling MC-30 (2x3W tube amp/pre-amp, very nice btw), and I'm thinking about buying a Prima Luna Prologue Five (35W tube power amp) to give it more "punch" and soundstage.
I can simply hook it up the "pre-out" on the Shanling, but !! Right now, I have an active subwoofer connected to it (Scandyna The Ball 2.1 Stereo RCA input)...
So my question is : how to split the pre-out to connect both the power amp and the sub ??
I've looked on many threads, but didn't find the exact answer or didn't understand all the splitting story... Can you do a step by step (I'm a newbie, I know...)
First I understood I don't need a Y splitter to connect on both ends of the sub cables to connect the Shanling to the sub (but I still bought them before I found out !). So that makes that one of the pre-out input is used for the sub, and the other one is free... Do I need a Y splitter here to connect to the power amp ? Won't it deteriorate stereo or sound quality if it is hooked to only one pre-out input on the pre-amp ?
Maybe I got it all wrong.. so that's why I'm asking you pros in the end ! :lesson:
