Connecting Clarett 2Pre USB to loudspeakers

The 1/4" jack LINE OUTPUTS 1 and 2 on the rear panel will normally be used to drive monitoring
speakers. Self-powered monitors incorporate internal amplifiers, and may be connected directly.
Passive loudspeakers will require a separate stereo amplifier; in this case, the outputs should be
connected to the amplifier's inputs.

Connecting passive speakers
Professional equipment will generally have balanced inputs. If your amplifier or powered speakers
have balanced inputs, use 3-pole (TRS) 1/4" jacks to connect them to the Clarett 2Pre USB.
All the line output connectors are 3-pole (TRS) ¼" jack sockets, and are electronically balanced.
Typical consumer (hi-fi) amplifiers and small powered monitors will have unbalanced inputs on RCA
sockets.
