Marantz 2215 + Equalizer possible?

[victor_c26]

I've got a Marantz 2215 here, and I was wondoring if it would be possible to hook up a graphics equalizer to it?

I ask because since it doesn't have equalizer ports, I'm not sure if connecting it in any other way will provok signal clipping or unwanted sound degradation

You can connect an equalizer in the tape monitor loop - tape out to eq in, eq out to tape in. Just push the tape monitor button when you want the equalizer in the circuit.

ive got mine hooked to the pre out an main in on the back of my 2325 maybe that will help u out jimi

i would only add that i can't really imagine why you'd wanna eff up the sweetness of the small marantz with an eq. might be better to make sure you have a good speaker match. i think of my 2216 as analogous to a push/pull tube amp, and therefore have it set up with an efficient pair of frazier manhattans

The amp will clip early. The 2215 is rated at 15 WPC. A cliped signal will destroy your speakers over time.
