Can I just hook one of these into the Preamp output on my amp and attach to my chair. I will be using it in my audio system, not home theater.

As long as the amp has a LPF (subwoofer) setting the bass shaker will react to the bass. If the amp doesn't have this capability it will react to all the frequencies like a speaker.

It requires a speak wire connection not an RCA connection. I have two (one attached to the bottom of each my front seats in my truck). They are running off 1 channel (L & R) of my amp.

The history of the shaker was that they were initially used for car audio systems, so that folks could attach them to their seat and feel the bass without having to have the volume so high. So, the answer is yes.

Gary these transducers are rated at 50 watts. A preamp output is not what you should consider for driving this load. Think Amplifier not Preamp! An amp that is capable of more than 30 to 35 watts should be best suited for this purpose. If you download the manual for this product you can find warnings not to surpass the 50 watt per unit rating. All* of those prior answers were Internet noise. #1. Neither helpful nor informative #2. Borderline helpful but not informative #3. What? & Wrong! #4.* I might be too hard on Sara. She is right to drive a group of these with hundreds of watts of power and Sara is also correct in guessing that the low preamp power will not work with the Bass Shaker. My contention with her response is that the harm of testing is that it is a complete waste of time. It is sort of trying to see if your toaster will work without power. How could it?

It can't hurt to test but I drive these with a dedicated 200w amp. If the Preamp is putting out around 1w it likely won't respond.

Additionally, another post said you can't connect to your amp directly via speaker wire output but that is false. You safely can (I do) and the owners manual also supports this.

No, this is meant to be used with a Microphone as a preamp. It's not an amp for use with other audio equipment.

This is a midi controller. I will not work directly into an amp. You would have to have some time of midi interface that would sample the sound.

the output is that of a tuner so if your speakers have a built in amp you should be ok, if not your out of luck or you will have to have a seperate amp

Hello. I don't think you can. This is a power amp and it is different than a bass amp or guitar amps that have waist chain options. You can run a speaker cab that has a output on it. For example..You run a non-powered PA cabinet with this and that cabinet has an output where you can disperse the power to that cabinet and another cabinet. You can do that only because of the speakers but this amp cannot do a chain of any sort.

An amplifier has a high current draw. I wouldn't plug an amp in there. The connector on the power supply is referred to as the 'courtesy' and is meant to connect smaller things like another voodoo labs power supply or perhaps a power strip (to connect 9-12v adapters to power pedals)

Your amp needs to be phantom power operable. Most P.A. Systems will have a phantom power switch to power the preamp. It's not so bad putting the 9v, you just have to unscrew the backplate and hook a battery in.

you would connect an XLR cable from the MAIN OUT on the board to the input(s) on your amp. If your amp doesnt have XLR inputs, then you will need to buy an adapter or new cables. You could alternatively connect the amp with the 1/4 in output from the MONITOR or HEADPHONES, you could also connect it to the OUT on the RCA.

No, you do not need a preamp. There is a dedicated phono input. I took a snapshot of the page from the manual, but can't attach it here. You can download the PDF manual at onkyo's site and look at page En-18. :-)

I think you can. I also use it as a bass "preamp" with the output going into a small practice amp. Adds a lot of warmth. Good luck!

This is a power amp, not a turntable preamp. It expects line level input. Though you might be able to modify it, given sufficient electronics expertise, I would not recommend it.

No. You would need a digital to analog converter to connect to the amp from a digital source. They are relatively inexpensive, google should find some for you.

This is a preamp/processor, it has no amplifiers built in therefore 0 watts per channel. You need to hook this to an external power amplifier(s).

This isn't an easy question to answer without the specifics of what you're trying to hook up. This is a guitar cable. It is mono and will work well in transferring a low power signal to an amp, etc. If you're trying to hook up an amp to a speaker for example, this is not what you want. For an already amplified signal you'll need a 1/4" speaker cable. There is a huge difference. One is shielded and meant to carry a high impedance signal to an amplification source, the other is not shielded and meant to carry a much stronger power signal with low impedance. You should Google the specifics of your gear because using this cable for instance to run from an amp head to a speaker could possibly cause major damage. I hope this helps!

Is just to plug the cable from your Guitar to your Amp (Or other effect if you have)

No. This is a poor pre-amp gain is not enough to drive the amplifiers I have. Lots of noise. Would not recommend.
