Haven't found this addressed anywhere: I am running a Thule PR100 preamp into a Thule PA100 power amp. The pre has both unbalanced and balanced outputs. No switch to choose which you're running as the output. The amp has balanced/unbalanced inputs. There is a selector switch where you have to choose whether you're using the balanced or unbalanced inputs. I am running the balanced outputs from the preamp to the amp. I am also running the unbalanced RCA outputs of the preamp to a separate sub. The amp came used without a manual. I had a manual for the preamp, but I lost it. Best I can recall, the preamp manual didn't say anything about using or not using both sets of outputs simultaneously. It was just silent on that. Any idea if I'm screwing up the signal and/or the preamp by using both outputs at the same time? I don't see any harm to the amp, because it's getting only the balanced signal, and it hasn't complained. |

Thanks, Victor. |
What is the effect of those cables capacitance on a typical preamp output?, posted on September 29, 2015 at 09:44:53 | |

Figure, 100 Ohm output resistance.

Not much of a manual but here it is: Thule PR100 Manual "Our head is round in order to allow our thoughts to change direction." Francis Picabia |

You are welcome, and I suspect you will be happy with the dual connection.
