How do you use a pre-out subwoofer?

Pre-outs can be used with subwoofers that have their own internal amplifier. Connecting your powered subwoofers to a pre-out is very simple. To do this, simply use an RCA-type input jack to connect from your receiver to your subwoofer.

What are preamp outputs?

Preamp Outputs: Preamp level outputs are audio outputs that are used to drive an amplifier (or equalizer or crossover…). Preamp level outputs do not have enough output current to allow them to drive speakers directly. Some units will have only one set of preamp outputs (would likely be a ‘rear’ output).

Why do subwoofers Pre-out?

Pre-out boosts the power of the subwoofer better than the amplifier on an AV receiver. That minimizes the load and power on the receiver’s amplifier. In addition to that, a pre-out is useful when you want to connect different speaker channels. You don’t need to be in the same room to be able to play sounds.

What is a sub preamp output?

Some stereo amps and preamps have a “subwoofer out” which is usually just a preamp output, meaning it’s a regular full-bandwidth line-level signal that relies on the subwoofer’s crossover to decide how much high-frequency information the sub will throw away, and how much low-frequency information it will keep.

Is line out the same as pre out?

Line out is *normally* a fixed voltage signal unaffected by the volume control. Pre-out is normally a variable signal since it is intended to be connected to a power amp, in this case adjusting the volume control adjusts the output signal level as a power amp is traditionally fixed gain.

Can I connect subwoofer to line out?

If you are using your subwoofer with a home theater receiver, the connection is simple: Just run an audio interconnect cable like this one from the receiver’s subwoofer output to the subwoofer’s line input (pictured above). If the subwoofer has an input labeled LFE, use that one.

Where are the pre out and sub pre out jacks?

The Pre-out RCA jacks on the back of the receiver only output signals, not actual power. The red/black speaker jacks are for connecting speakers to it. The Sub Preout is for connecting to only a Powered Subwoofer.

How to hook up a powered subwoofer with pre-out hook up?

You’ll need to find a section of RCA jack outputs labeled “Pre-Out”, and one of them should be for “Subwoofer”. If you don’t have this output, you won’t be able to connect your sub this way. Refer to Connecting a Non-Powered Subwoofer to get your subwoofer connected. And that’s it!
