You don't need a pre-amp with this model right? Can you just plug it directly into your speakers or do you need a receiver first? What are your current set ups?

Yes you can, as tom said this particular model has the Pre-Amp built in, which means if you have speakers with an amp built in and rca connections in the back it will work by directly plugging it into the speakers. however, as Tom has also said, If your speakers are unpowered and hooked up to an amplifier, it must then be hooked up to the amplifier instead of the speakers.

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.

use a male to male mini stereo plug and cord. there is a jack in back of the amp, if I understand your set up. All though if you are already connected to working speakers you don't need them amp.

i have this receiver and love it. I power 3 zones with it. All you need is speakers for zone 2 and 3. No additional amplifiers needed as all 3 zones are powered by the receiver itself. if you run 2 sets of speakers per zone, make sure your speakers have an impedance matching the receivers impedance. Do your research about how to connect them to not generate the wrong impedance. Connect speakers in series: add up impedance and you are on the safe side. If your wiring does not allow to connect them in series, make sure each of the 2 speakers you connect in parallel have double the impedance than the minimum impedance your receiver can support. Example: minimum impedance 8Ohms means you could either run 2 speakers each 4 ohms or higher in series (totals to 8 Ohms or higher) OR 2 speakers 16 ohms or higher in parallel (totals 8 ohms or higher).

You will need to have a phono stage pre-amp to play this through your receiver

RCA outputs. Does not come with a pre-amp. You have to buy one separately. As well as an additional RCA cable to connect the pre-amp to your receiver/speakers.

You will need a receiver to power the speaker. It does not have an independent power source.

Just use speaker cable to hook up to receiver/amplifier. Speakers draw power from amplifier so no power cable needed.

Sorry, but no, it's a "pre-amp". meaning it then needs to be connected to an amplifier or receiver which in turn are hooked to speakers. These are mainly used to hook up vintage turntables as modern amplifiers no longer have a proper "phono" input.

I imagine you've already figured this out, but this unit has no phono pre-amp. You'll have to either buy an outside pre-amp for your old turntable (better quality, usually) which in turn plugs into your receiver or buy a new turntable that has its own pre-amp and regular RCA outputs for this unit (and most others I've seen).

No you do not need a sub amp. Run the L/R speaker wires from the speaker output from your receiver to the Omni and then connect your speakers to the OMNI. The wires are labeled for proper connection. Hope that helps!

You can connect it directly, but a pre-amp could help. The sound is pretty clean as is.

Make sure you are connecting to the phono input with ground wire. If you don't have a phono input jack on your receiver, you will have to buy a pre-amp in order to hook it up through an auxiliary port. You can buy a pre-amp from Amazon for about $25. Hope this helps.

No, you will not need a pre-amp. I have a SONY turntable hooked up to mine as ,works great!

I agree w/dbrdoc43 - search amazon for "preamp" and read the reviews. A preamp will increase the signal from the ttable so it will be suitable for a modern receiver. Old school amps/receivers had built in preamps; newer ones don't.

Q: can you use this to power 4 6x9 speakers (150rms each at 4ohm) And how would you wire a high level imput into this amp? (stock head unit because they dont make an aftermarket one)A: You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.I have a small amp for my speakers and one amp for this sub. 2ohms is how the shop I went to set it up. The amp I got was like $65 and it works great. I've had both for about 1.5-2 years now

It's a full set of speakers - you don't need anything else, unless you plan on mounting some of the speakers on a wall, in that case, you might need mounts. The smaller speakers come with a little hole in the back, so you could just hang from a nail or screw.You do need an amp / receiver. I bought the matching Onkyo one. I used the wires that came with it, and it sounds fine to me. I'm not an audiophile. ;-)

I have not hooked it into my TV as I have another set hooked into the TV but you should not need any other pieces or products to amplify sound. These speakers do a pretty good job of that already. So no, you won't need a preamplifier.
