What is a preout ?

Devialet amplifiers are mainly equipped with inputs, which means that you can connect third-party devices, such as a CD player for example, and thus amplify the received signal and play it on the speakers.

 

It is sometimes necessary to output a signal from the amplifier, to listen to music through headphones for example. We call it pre-amplified output or PreOut and this is configurable via the Devialet configurator.

• Can I filter the subwoofer's signalLe signal vers un subwoofer peut etre filtré ?

There are some setting to be use on the configurator

1. Full range - it means that the whole frequences will be played by the subwoofer
