Some preamplifiers invert the audio signal. In that case you might want to connect the positive(+)-wire of your loudspeaker cable to the 0 Ohm terminal of the ProLogue Five, and the negative (-)-wire to the 4 or 8 Ohm terminal; do so on both channels. When in doubt, consult the preamp's manual or ask the manufacturer of the preamp.
PrimaLuna ® ProLogue Five Adaptive AutoBias™ Exclusive to PrimaLuna, this circuit monitors and smoothly adjusts bias constantly and instantly. The genius of this design is that the Adaptive AutoBias™ actually improves the overall sound quality and performance of the amp. Between 12 and 30 Watts, measured distortion levels drop by over 40%. In addition, tubes do not have to be matched, and there is no bias (re-)adjustments needed, ever.
