4) Connections to other components - Connections are shown in
Figure 1. The input connections for source material (phonograph,
CD player, tuner, tape recorder) are made via RCA auxiliary
jacks are also available for line level sources (approximately 1
volt). A five way lug is also provided for grounding the
turntable to the preamplifier. The outputs to the power amplifier
and tape recorder are arranged to the right of the input jacks. The
tape output (as shipped) is passive, however it can be configured
as an active outputs for powering a subwoofer or second
amplifier. To do so, remove the cover and find the two small
black slide switches on the rear (RCA jack) circuit board. Refer
to figures 2 and 3 for approximate locations of these switches.
The two positions are labeled “A” for active and “P” for passive
modes. Simple slide the two switches to the “A” position and the
tape output will become active.
WARNING : If unit has been powered up, you must
turn off the switch and wait at least one hour before
disconnecting the electrical cord. After doing so, the
unit may be unplugged and the top cover removed.
This time is required for dangerous voltages to
dissipate to ground.
5) Polarity - The Rogue sixty-six preamplifier is an inverting
amplifier (positive signal in gives negative signal out) so, for
best sound, care should be taken to ensure correct polarity at the
speaker terminals. If your power amplifier is also inverting, then
connect the positive (+) outputs of your power amplifier to the
positive(+) terminals of the loudspeakers and the negative (-)
outputs to the (-) negative loudspeaker terminals. If your power
amplifier is non-inverting, then connect the positive outputs (+)
of your power amplifier to the negative (-) loudspeaker
terminals, and the negative outputs (-) to the positive (+)
loudspeaker terminals. If you are unsure as to the polarity of
your power amplifier, check the owners manual or contact the
manufacturer. If all else fails, try both connections and listen to
which sounds better (do this using several different recordings as
not all recordings are made with correct phase).
