Mac 1900 using 2 power amps ?

[kirkmartin]

I have a Mac 1900 that I want to use 2 power amps with to run 2 sets of speakers.
Can I use the tape monitor jacks to connect one amp and the pre outs for the other ? if so, do I use "tape out" or "tape mon" and will all 4 speakers play together, will balance control work ?

Thanks,
Kirk

Assuming both amps have the same power rating, simply split the signal from the preamp out with a set of y cables to the pair of amps.

Tape out has no volume control, no balance, no tone controls.....you will have to split the pre out multiple times.

I am using two different speakers ( Chorue II's & Forte's ) if I split the pre out's won't I have one set that reads just the RT channel and one set that plays the LT channel ?
Both my amps have double gang volume control, so I think I could balance it that way.

Left Preamp Output of 1900 to Y Cord Number 1 (Single Male Dual Female). Connect the LEFT inputs of each amplifier to this Y Cord via standard RCA cables.

Right Preamp Output of 1900 to Y Cord Number 2 (Single Male Dual Female). Connect the RIGHT inputs of each amplifier to this Y Cord via standard RCA cables.

Balance each amp with their gain controls to your liking.
