- Connetti ingresso: Using high-quality RCA cables, connect the audio output of your source device to the IN RCA ports on the rear of the Nobsound Passive Preamp. Ensure left (L) and right (R) channels are correctly matched.
- Uscita di connessione: Using another set of RCA cables, connect the FUORI RCA ports on the rear of the Nobsound Passive Preamp to the audio input of your power amplifier or active speakers. Again, ensure correct channel matching.
