B&K 5 S2 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
USING FULL RANGE SPEAKERS
To connect the Preamplifier outputs to your external amplifier(s) or powered speakers use EITHER the bal-
anced (XLR) connections OR
unbalanced (RCA) connections. Do not connect both!
Shown below is a typical Preamplifier output setup for use with large (full range) speakers:
Note: The use of a subwoofer is optional.
Balanced (XLR) Connection Unbalanced (RCA) Connection
USING SMALL SPEAKERS AND SUBWOOFER
To connect the Preamplifier outputs to your external amplifier(s) or powered speakers, use an RCA connection
from the high pass outputs.
Shown below is a typical Preamplifier output setup for use with small speakers. Use the RCA connections for
small speakers.
Note: The use of a subwoofer is not optional and is needed to reproduce low frequency audio material.
SUB output connection - Connect an RCA cable from the Preamplifier Tuner's SUB output. If your sub-
woofer does not contain its own amplifier you will need to purchase an external amplifier from B&K. Connect
the Preamplifier
s SUB output to the audio input of the external sub.
If you prefer to use your subwoofer's
internal crossover, connect to the Preamplifier Tuner's MONO L+R output.
