Cascade Audio Outputs

The "Cascade Audio Outputs" enable you to connect another amplifier to your preamplifier output. The connectors are gold-plated RCA phono jacks. Connect them to another amplifier’s inputs with a standard audio patch cable. The outputs are not buffered; if you wish to daisy-chain more than 5 Niles amplifiers you will need a Niles ADA-6 buffered distribution amplifier. A single ADA-6 will allow you to daisy-chain 5 amplifiers from each of its six outputs, allowing 30 SI-1230 power amplifiers to be fed from the same master preamplifier. If your preamp has a vacuum tube output stage, you must use a Niles ADA-6 to drive more than a single SI-1230.
