Any reason this can't be used with conventional speakers, that is, running the outputs to amp inputs and driving the speakers that way?

Can be used with conventional speakers, but make sure you have the right cables to make the connections. The Drive Rack has XLR outputs.

That's what I'm doing, and it works great. The only feature that will be useless in that scenario is the library of known speakers, but you'll be perfectly fine without it.

No because dbx px is only for power speakers...What u need to buy is dbx pa

I fell it will work when you finish hooking up just go to custom and finish your set up

It has no internal amp, if that's what you mean. So you have to amp your output or use "powered" speakers, which is how I run it.

I don't believe it will work as part of a surround sound setup. The input is optical and so I don't believe you can setup the amp to output via the optical port the centre speaker.

Not by itself. This is a passive speaker, it is not ampified. Preamps out are made to connect to an amplifier (such as http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004S55ES6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3S9OO504Y0AMM&coliid=I2ONUTR0SFC1NX&psc=1 ), which in turn would be connected to the speaker(s)

This is not an amp. It takes an output to speakers and can run different sets of speakers. If you do not have enough power in your receiver to run the speakers it will not work. Each time you turn on a set of speakers it will drop the power by a percentage. Some receivers can not handle more then three sets.

No. You either need to output to powered speakers, or feed this pre-amp into a power amplifier (that in turn will drive unpowered speakers). This is just a mixer and pre-amp. (And a fine one for the money, IMO. I've been very happy with my purchase.)

Unfortunately, that won't work. There are no USB input or output. You connect traditional speakers Left and Right to this amplifier

I really haven't tried that kind of setup. I only use the speakers myself but I don't see why you couldn't use both. You might want to contact a Pioneer repersentive or retailer in your area, I'm sure they would know.

I have not tried this but from the manual it describes utilizing both the A and B speaker sets. If this is similar to the stereo receivers of the 70s-80s, you would not want to use 4 ohm rated speakers as what normally happens is the speakers get paralleled and the resistance/impedance drops to 2 ohms and that the amp would never be able to handle without shutting down. If I remember, I will test this and comment further but everything I have read says this should work with 8 ohm rated speakers.

No. Your turntable output is not capable of driving the speakers. The speakers need to be connected to a preamp or receiver in order to get the proper signal. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

That depends. Your speakers must have analogic inputs or outputs, either p2 or RCA. Mine works great with a pair of amplified computer speakers.

I'm sure it would work, but why? you have to worry about the wattage of the signal going in and then you have to convert your AC to DC to power this unit. Better off buying or building a sub that can take the high power speaker input rather than line inputs.

I have tried and no, is not a good option. The frecuencies are not the same and won't have a good quality. Sounds empty. I don't know if it damages the amp because i only did it a few times just to try it out and had no damage at all but i guess that if you do it frequently surely will cause damage to the speaker.

Sounds like you want to switch the output among various speakers with a mechanical device? The answer would be yes.

Bose speakers can be interesting... I am using this to power some speakers that do require amplification, however they are not Bose speakers. For the price you could give it a try I suppose, or try powering the speakers with a non Bose amplifier first to see if it would work? If they are powered speakers I would say no as this would be double amplification and most likely cause distortion etc... Good luck!

Biamping is sending power separately to the Woofers and Tweeters for instance.....I wouldn't really recommend this on this type of system as oppossed to a very high end system(where you could actually TRI-AMP IT with the proper High End Speakers) but that is a WHOLE other ballgame in Audio and very expensive.....If you add a major powerful Power Amp to great speakers that's all you should need(without Bi-Amping to different parts of the same speaker)...but it will be moot if your speakers aren't good enough or can't handle it....
