If your preamplifier has RCA out- puts, it can be connected to the ampli- fier inputs as shown. The amplifier will boost the preamplifier's output, up to a level suitable for driving speakers.
This diagram also shows how the Voltage Source outputs connect to the input posts of your speakers. (The Current Source can be used instead, as shown on the next page).
Make sure that the posi- | R | = Right Channel |
