2.4 The ULTRABASS PRO in a Hi-Fi System

The following illustration shows how the ULTRABASS PRO is connected to your hi-fi stereo system. If
possible, insert the unit into the "tape monitor" path, which allows for controlling the sound of all signal sources
connected to the inputs of the amplifier.
Alternatively some integrated amplifiers have special preamp out / power amp in connectors. It is also possible
to connect the ULTRABASS PRO between your CD, cassette player, etc. and your amplifier. In all cases you
will need four cinch-to-jack cables.

channel speakers.
