The PRE32 is designed to be connected to
a power amplifier with either balanced or
unbalanced inputs.

If the power amplifier provides balanced
inputs, such as the Primare A34.2, connect the
PRE3 L and R outputs from the PRE32 to the
L and R balanced inputs in the power amplifier,
using high quality XLR cables.

If the power amplifier only provides
unbalanced inputs, connect the PRE1 (or
PRE2) L and R outputs from the PRE32 to the
L and R inputs on the power amplifier, using
high quality RCA cables.
