Will this amplify the line-level signal from a receiver's MD/Tape output? I have 100' run to another receiver's input. Don't want to blow the preamp.

probably not...what this unit does is amplify the signal from a turntable to a tape deck output because most newer amps don't have a source input for phono.

Yes it will! Use any line level input...tape in , accessory or really any. I use the CD input as I have a blue ray player for all discs. It's a pretty decent preamp, I like mine!

I have a JBL sub with 2 inputs (L+R), the left goes to a line level control. My amplifier only has 1 sub out, I connected the cable to the left input of the sub. Really works great.

I had the same question when i was hooking up my own system. I read on multiple audio forums that while both methods work, by using a y adapter and feeding the same signal into both ports you will gain about 3 decibels from the sub which is significant. Since I found the same conclusion from multiple sources I went ahead and got the adapter.

Yes that could work if the pre-amp is bringing the signal up to line-level. The Behringer Shark should also work for this and gives a few extra features.

I have mine between my separate preamp and amp. Not knowing your equipment, I would suggest putting it on a tape monitor if you have one. Otherwise, I would put it between the CD player and the receiver. You just need RCA cables. It'll take 1/4" unbalanced cables too. Let me know if you need more help or more about what it ACTUALLY does.

It depends. In the typical case, when your input signal is at "consumer line level" -- such as from a CD player, MP3 player, or PC -- then no, you won't need a preamp. But, if your input signal is weaker -- such as directly from a microphone, electric guitar pickup, or phonograph cartridge -- then yes, you'll need some preamplification.

If your signal to noise ratio is above 29db then it's outstanding. If you have alot of noise on your line then the amp will amplify the noise as well as the signal. So in this case an amplifier is ok. Now your downstream power level leaves much to be desired. The closer to zero the better and at 10.5 your almost at the point where your modem can't hear the signal from the node. seeing that you have low noise on the line that tells me your coax lines are good and since your upstream db is 47 and within spec then the node can hear your modem just fine. So that tells me your drop from the pole is really long probably over 100 feet I'm guessing? In this case I would say yes this amplifier is an excellent solution to your problem, but I would stress that one you try to have a direct drop without splitters if possible because your cable tv could be the culprit here and second put the amplifier at the point of the coax entrance to your home for best performance. Good luck and I hope I helped.

I have an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB plugged into an LG Home Theater. I have to really turn the home theater up to get nice volume. Would this preamp help me boost it? Thanks!

Yes, a premp boosts the signal to your amp and though your receiver has a phone input this preamp will clean up the signal and give a richer sound. Make sure your amp and the receiver / preamp are grounded. This makes a huge difference. You can ground the preamp to the reciever or to a copper water pipe or rig an out ground( to the third prong)

In my experience it DID NOT amplify. The output was not louder. I returned the product.

Not unless you have pre amps before it. If you have passive pickups this board will most likely not be able to even "see" the signal. Your best bet is to plug in this output into like a practice amp to daisy chain it, then use a headphone jack on the amp. I recommend a bcr 10. Its a little 10 watt amp with gain shape and a grind button and a nice clean tone without it all for like 60 bucks used. Hope I helped.

When you have purchased an appropriate amplifier there will more than likely be RCA connections for Line-Level audio. You're *supposed* to have an audio interface to filter out the highs, but I just run an auxiliary-to-RCA cable straight from my PC's audio jack to the amplifier. Works fine.

This type of EQ is sort of old fashioned. It uses an analog input output setup, via your tape monitor loop (if your receiver has one). It was a very common method of using an equalizer until everything went digital. I cannot comment on the more modern receivers, as I still use my same Yamaha from the mid 90's. Mine has a tape monitor option, so basically you run your receiver into the EQ, run the output back into the tape monitor input on your amp(or pre-amp, or receiver), and enable the tape monitor option on your receiver. You need to make sure you can do so, as this is not a feature on all of the simplified electronic devices you see these days.

I bought mine for this purpose, but it didn't work. I think the problem was an unreliable part. Further research showed that this type of adapter can work, but may damage the equipment or degrade the sound. For more info on converting a stereo line level output to a mono output, Google "Why Not Wye" (yes, Wye), and follow the link to the Rane Corporation's article on this topic.

There is not a "high level" output on the unit. There is a "high level" input for older receivers that do not have a dedicated subwoofer output on them.

No. I have no problems with the signal on this cable. Turn up the volume on the device to a high level and adjust the volume knob on your amp, assuming you've got a volume knob on your amp. It's a wonderful cable, I've got one on my sub and one on my speakers. Both from my PC, and both carrying signal very well. I don't have to set the gain high on my sub amp to hear it and I don't have to set the volume high at all on the speakers to get sound. You're good to go.
