Does this require a pre-amp, or can you connect directly to an amplifier or PA board?

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

Sorry, wrong device. Yes you can run it direct, and I have the output is similar to a normal guitar pick up. You do not have onboard controls, but the level is fine.

Plugs right into an amp but I was dissappointed in the performance...I think I would recommend the removal type pickup that fits into the soumd hole...I triedb this one on a stand up bass and it was useless...so then tried it on my guitar and again it wasnt worth the money

No but there is a pre-amp out, 1/4 inch I believe ....you might be able to use that, though I have never tried!

No. If you want to connect a turntable that doesn't have a built in pre-amp, you will need an outboard pre-amp.

I have not tried that so i don't know, but it seems that you would not since the pre-amp has no ability to boost the signal without electrical power.

Yes you will need a separate amp. No these do not connect directly to a computer.

No. You either need to output to powered speakers, or feed this pre-amp into a power amplifier (that in turn will drive unpowered speakers). This is just a mixer and pre-amp. (And a fine one for the money, IMO. I've been very happy with my purchase.)

The first 2 channels have preamps so as long as you plug your mic into one of those, you can connect directly

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.

No output is good into amp or mixer. Pre-amp would allow additional flexibility with eq and gain adjustments.

No. You need a pre amp for a turntable in addition to an amp (which is this product )

It would have to be connected between a pre amp and a power amp. This unit makes everything sound better!

Yes, you most certainly can. Some people say you need a pre- amp, but we didn't need one at all, it sounds loud and very nice through an amp.

Hi, I think you meant receiver or integrated instead of straight amplifier. If you connect to a Auxiliary input or tape in etc. you would need a Phono pre-amp (step up transformer) then use the chassis screw to ground the turntable.

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.

I'm no expert but you'll probably need a pre-amp if your receiver doesnt have a phono input and or was built in the two decades. If you dont have a pre-amp then your record will be fine but you wont be able to hear it and you may damage your receiver. It would be great if you can find someone to loan you one just to test it.

No, you'll need an amplifier of some kind. I purchased a small Pyle amp from Amazon to run mine.

No you don't. But many customers still choose to use one since the sound performance will be better with a preamp. Hope this anwers your question.
