Can you split a preamp output?

What is a pre out connection?
Pre-outs are used to connect an external amplifier to your receiver so they can power speakers in your Home Theater system. This is convenient if you have an extra amplifier you’d like to use or if any of your speakers require more power than your receiver alone can provide.
Can you connect a preamp to another preamp?
If you want the maximum possible transparency, you should avoid chaining two preamps. But at the end, it all depends on what you want to obtain. If it sounds well to you… If you like the sound there is nothing wrong with it… just don’t send phantom power into the first pre’s output.
Can you have 2 preamps?
I don’t see a problem with running through 2 pre’s, may sound good. Just try to remember the more input gain you use, the more of the pre’s character you’ll get, so you can keep 1st pre’s input low and crank the output to compensate into the 2nd pre where you’ll use more input gain and get the “character”.
Can you use preamp outputs?
Yep, pre-amp outputs are so you can put un-amplified signal to a seperate power amp, basically making your receiver a processor and preamp. Very usefull for driving difficult front speakers, because you can usually just output the front pre-amp signal and use the internal amps for the rest of the setup if you want.
Is preamp out an effects loop?
On the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (and virtually every other similarly equipped guitar/bass amp), the preamp out/power amp in is designed to function either as an effects loop or as a way to daisy chain amps together. The preamp output connection is intended to feed effects processors and recording gear.

How to split pre amp output to two outlets?
You could also just use ‘Y’ splitter plugs at the pre-out sockets to take 2 feeds from the pre amp, as the pre out signal may drop slightly with being split. The second option is best IMO, and its very simple to do with minimal impact on SQ. It will mean you’ll need to re balance all your gear though, your amp (s) and the sub levels etc.
What is a pre-out on a receiver?
A pre-out allows you to connect an external power amplifier instead of using the amp that’s built into the receiver. It allows a signal to pass through the receiver without amplification, and to instead be amplified by another power source.
How do you connect a subwoofer to a pre-out?
For example, when connecting your subwoofer via a pre-out, there are a few different connection options. A single tip RCA cable can be used, while you may also use an RCA cable and Y-Splitter if there are multiple sub inputs. Some companies even offer a dedicated subwoofer cable.
Can I expand my receiver to a pre-out?
So you can scale up this unit in a way that will always give you the option of expanding to a pre-out while preserving the receiver’s capacity. The receiver’s built-in amplifier has a limited power supply and your speakers will benefit from sharing the power among fewer channels.
