Hook Up An Equalizer To 2 Amps

RCA audio cables are red and yellow.


An equalizer allows a person to customize the type of sound being output; adjust levels, such as bass and treble. Most equalizers have several RCA outputs that will suffice to connect to multiple amplifiers. However, if the equalizer has one output and needs to be connected to two amplifiers, then it will need an RCA audio cable splitter. This type of cable is inexpensive and available at most electronic and stereo stores.


Instructions


1. Purchase a RCA splitter cable. The splitter has two male plugs on one end (red and white), and four male plugs on the other end (two red and two white).


2. Locate the "Audio Out" port on the equalizer. Plug the end of the cable with only two plugs into the output port. Always match a red plug with a red port and a white plug with a white port.


3. Locate the "Audio In" port on the first amplifier. Plug the first set (red and white) of RCA cables into the port.


4. Locate the "Audio In" port on the second amplifier. Plug the second set (red and white) of RCA cables into the port.


5. Plug in and turn on all the devices. Play music and test the system.
