Title: X2 outputs?
Post by: RestoredSparda on February 10, 2022, 03:06:04 PM

Hi!  I'm about halfway through a stock Beepre2 build. I plan on building this as designed first to ensure its working properly.

I am however in need of a second output, as I will be using this before a Mainline for headphone use, and before a poweramp for speakers.

Would it be simple as adding a second pair of jacks for output, and paralleling the first output to those? Is there a preferred way to add a second output to this pre? Both need to be single ended (not balanced) in my case.

Yes, you can fill the extra set of holes with another pair of jacks.  The second set of outputs that come with the second upgrade will include XLR jacks, but you can just leave those off if you opt to install the rest of the second upgrade.

Finished her up and slapped on some stain.

After some rearranging I am really enjoying this pre. It's a bit overkill for my current setup, but I've never heard my wharfendales sing like this before. Vocals are Unreal.

There's nothing wrong with overkill!

Hey Paul!

I went ahead and installed the new jacks. Before I fire her up, does this look correct to you?
