Is this preamp passive?

It is junk. It did not have near as much punch as I wanted to drive my receiver and I immediately unhooked it and ordered another one. Bite the bullet and spend 200 plus so you don't have to buy two to get one. If passive means that you can keep it turned on but it uses no power and puts out no signal unless stimulated by the turntable, then I think they all may be passive. Chuck

Yes, you need a preamp to drive the aux channel on your amp. This one work great.

Not by itself. This is a passive speaker, it is not ampified. Preamps out are made to connect to an amplifier (such as Boss AR1500M ARMOR 1,500-Watt Mono Mosfet Amplifier ), which in turn would be connected to the speaker(s)

Yes. cannot introduce ac, hiss, hum etc because it is a non- powered passive unit.

This is a preamp and don't really add much power/volume. You may need to adjust the mic closer or bump up the amp.

cant say cause that isn't a plug, (its part of the board / source of power) to the preamp. you can always check clarions website if you think it can be saved.

I believe that as long as you are only changing the preamp tubes (12AX7), you don't need to mess with the bias. If you're changing the power tubes as well then you may need a bias, depends on your amp.

Yes. I added a pre-amp to my turntable. It works very well. Highly recommended.

Yes. Phono preamps have a specific equalization curve applied. There are also differences in the amount of amplification needed and probably the input impedance.

No, you can´t bypass the internal preamps, but you can use the SPDIF or ADAT IN to connect an external preamp with A/D converter.

It is not loud. When I play live and plug in to the same D.I. box that other players have been using, my guitar can't be heard. I have to tell the sound person to boost my gain considerably, then it works. It seems a preamp is necessary.

You can plug the power in for the at a point that you can connect to the injector which powers the built in preamp. Just remember to install the injector before a splitter if one is being used.

There's no Phono input, so that implies you need a separate pre-amp, though who knows, maybe it does have sensitive enough input.The manual is almost impossible to comprehend, and unit's routing is really confusing, keep that in mind.

I am not sure, for me, it is little bigger than my old preamp, so I have to cut the hole little bigger,this is my first time, which i learn from Youtube, the unit sound very good, I love it.

I use a beringer preamp picked up for $40, the hum went away, it has to do with noisy power from the audio source, not the amplifier.

No power need to use this device. - BUT I am not sure if it will "pass through" power for a pre-amp. I would guess yes, but am not sure.

my understanding is that this is the newer version and has a built in preamp. I would compare the specs at the Winegard web site or perhaps solidsignal.com
