A friend of mine had a yard sale home theater set up with some powered monitors and had the amp stolen and they are now looking to get it up and running again.
I never saw the amp so I have no idea what it was, just that the TV plugged in to it via RCA
Is it possible that these powered monitors were hooked up to an amp? wouldn’t that have exploded everything? Is there anything I can tell them to buy that will work with these cables?
They could be passive monitors and not actual powered… ?
But in the world audio. There are things that you can do, things that you can and should do.
Also things that you should not do but can do and things most surely what not to do and so on.
If they would be powered monitors and if there is will, to take the right? road or at least woddle that way. Maybe they could get a more proper amp with outputs for powered monitors.
Things would be more in the “right” side of good things.
But the checking the speaker (brand / model) might be best place to start.
So they COULD have been plugged in to a powered amp but shouldn’t be?
It seems like powered amps are way easier to find so should I point them in this direction and tell them to be careful with blasting the volume or something?
I would say yes, they could… since it’s analog signal and they should not.
They amp an amp the analog signal and that is not ok in world of audio or hifi.
Risk of breaking something or everything… should be present?
Mad science hour stuff anyways. How many vinyls can we stack up and still play and so on. lol
It has an aux out that in the manual is listed as being “for recording devices” which I assume means it is routing the same signal out. Do you think they could run those speakers off of that RCA out?
I think those output’s are only for recording use…? Manual kinda point’s in that.
It will technically “work” but the manual has this tiny note " The volume, tone (bass and treble), and balance settings have no effect on the recording signals."
