To connect the Preamplifier outputs to your external amplifier(s) or powered speakers, use an RCA connection
from the high pass outputs.
Shown below is a typical Preamplifier output setup for use with small speakers. Use the RCA connections for
small speakers.
Note: The use of a subwoofer is not optional and is needed to reproduce low frequency audio material.

SUB output connection - Fixed crossover (80Hz). Connect an RCA cable from the Preamplifier Tuner's SUB
output. If your subwoofer does not contain its own amplifier you will need to purchase an external amplifier
from B & K . Connect the Preamplifier's SUB output to the audio input of the external sub. If you prefer to
use your subwoofer's internal crossover, connect to the Preamplifier Tuner's MONO L+R output.
