Can I connect my active studio monitiors (krk rokit5) directly into this pre amp. The speakers have options Xlr, trs & rca.

yes, you can. you may have to fiddle with it to get the sound right, but after that.....enjoy the show!

The answer is yes. You have powered studio monitors; which is the same as having a power amp and speakers. This means, all you need is a preamp. Just hook up your speakers to the front left and right outputs on the umc- 200. You may need to calibrate according to umc menu; then adjust level and trim to taste. The result is worth the effort. Great speaker choice!

I believe so - with sufficiently long RCA interconnect cables you should be able to run them from the "FR" and "FL" 7.1 outputs on this processor.

The UMC-200 is a 'pre-amp' and it's designed to only take a pre-amp signal input. If your active monitor has a pre-amp output it would work, but I'm not sure why you would want to do that.

That shouldn't be a problem. I would contact emotiva customer support just in case. They were fairly helpful with my questions.

I have RCA wires connecting from the back of the turntable into AuidoEngine A5 external speakers....but the external speakers have no sound coming out of them....any ideas as to why? I wouldn't think I need a phono preamp...

I don't think so. It's just a pre amp, I think you need a mixer, which btw you can get cheaper.

One possible way would be to purchase XLR splitters. Send one signal straight into the Behringer, and the other into your amp for your passives.

Sorry, but no, it's a "pre-amp". meaning it then needs to be connected to an amplifier or receiver which in turn are hooked to speakers. These are mainly used to hook up vintage turntables as modern amplifiers no longer have a proper "phono" input.

I own a pair of these monitors. I'm very happy with them. They are passive not active, so they connect to a stereo amp just like any, regular speaker with the standard speaker wire of your choice. You can either wrap the wires around the posts and screw them tight, or you can use banana plugs (which I did). If you go with banana plugs, I would recommend getting ones that you DO NOT have to solder (which I did). It was a hassle and I don't think the connection is any better than a non-solder banana plug. As for your Focusrite Scarlett 212, I don't even know what that is??? So, I can't tell you if it will work. I can tell you that these are great speakers.

what kind of "speakers" ? active or passive(they have a 1/4 entry or XLR? )neither way i would recommend this bundle get a real mixer (MACKIE, even PEAVEY)or an audio interface (i am really pleased with steinberg ur series)

I am not sure Evan, but here is the link to KRK Systems giving full detail on the speakers. Maybe there is contact info to call them. Good luck. Link follows: http://www.krksys.com/krk-studio-monitor-speakers/rokit/rokit-5.html

This would not be enough. If you want reasonable quality, you need an audio interface that would allow you to plug in (XLR or 1/4") and that had an onboard pre-amp. Look for Focusrite, Presonus, or M-Audio if you aren't trying to spend much money.

Thank you for your inquiry. If your receiver has XLR or RCA outputs, you can run an RCA or XLR cord from your receiver's outputs to the inputs on the KRK RP8G3-NAs. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

No, you will not need a pre-amp. I have a SONY turntable hooked up to mine as ,works great!

You can connect it directly, but a pre-amp could help. The sound is pretty clean as is.

Hi Eugene,The outputs are RCA only. You'll need to get a separate phono pre-amp (I bought a small pyle pre-amp) or a Phono-USB converter (ION has a nice one).

Connect the preamp to the power amp with RCAs or XLRs and connect your speakers to the power amp with bananas or wire

I ran my outputs through a radio shack 4 line microphone mixer (so I could mix in music from my iPod) and then from the mixer to my receiver. The mixer has volume controls to increase the signal to the receiver. I have had no problem with that setup other than having to avoid too much volume. I assume a preamp would work if you don't want to use a mixer. Hope this helps.

Whatever device your connecting this amp to will need to have pre-amp out ports. You connect the amp to the stereo with r a jacks.

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. :-)
