4)Connections to other components - Connections are shown in Figure 1. The input connections for source material (phonograph, CD player, tuner, tape recorder) are made via RCA auxiliary jacks are also available for line level sources (approximately 1 volt). A five way lug is also provided for grounding the turntable to the preamplifier. The outputs to the power amplifier and tape recorder are arranged to the right of the input jacks. The tape output (as shipped) is passive, however it can be configured as an active outputs for powering a subwoofer or second amplifier. To do so, remove the cover and find the two small black slide switches on the rear (RCA jack) circuit board. Refer to figures 2 and 3 for approximate locations of these switches. The two positions are labeled “A” for active and “P” for passive modes. Simple slide the two switches to the “A” position and the tape output will become active.

WARNING : If unit has been powered up, you must turn off the switch and wait at least one hour before disconnecting the electrical cord. After doing so, the unit may be unplugged and the top cover removed. This time is required for dangerous voltages to dissipate to ground.

5)Polarity - The Rogue sixty-six preamplifier is an inverting amplifier (positive signal in gives negative signal out) so, for best sound, care should be taken to ensure correct polarity at the speaker terminals. If your power amplifier is also inverting, then connect the positive (+) outputs of your power amplifier to the positive(+) terminals of the loudspeakers and the negative (-) outputs to the (-) negative loudspeaker terminals. If your power amplifier is non-inverting, then connect the positive outputs (+) of your power amplifier to the negative (-) loudspeaker terminals, and the negative outputs (-) to the positive (+) loudspeaker terminals. If you are unsure as to the polarity of your power amplifier, check the owners manual or contact the manufacturer. If all else fails, try both connections and listen to which sounds better (do this using several different recordings as not all recordings are made with correct phase).
