Something very important - rec out usually carries a maximum voltage therefore the device it is connected to has to be one with volume control. If it is output to a power amp it will be at maximum volume all the time.
Can you please clarify - Is Rec out (rca) same as line out (rca). Hope taking connection from Rec out of one integrated amplifier to second integrated amplifier does not damage the pre-amp circuit board of the second amplifier.
Watch this video (How to Add a Speaker to Stereo Receiver) ruclips.net/video/X5rFvekypqI/видео.html. It’s not the same as line out btw. With a line signal, you’re able to control the amount (volume) going out. Which could be risky because if you go full volume and feed that to another sound system and further increase, 💥. So rec out is actually what you want to use. It’ll forward the audio and the volume is controlled exclusively through the (second)receiver. But I’m not an audio or electrical engineer so perform at your own risk 🤷♂️.
@@SimpleCafeE Thanks for ur reply. I checked with the manufacturer of the amplifier. Yes I can give signal to another integrated amplifier, active speaker or a sub woofer. Basically the signal will not harm the other component as there is always a vol control in the second component.
8 mo. later... sorry I haven't looked into REC IN. Clearly it's to get audio recording in but that's what I figure all the other ports simply called IN are. Maybe it's just a different way of labelling than what we're used to. but either way I think you should be fine with connecting pre-amp.
Yes I'm actually going to make a video about that and I'll bet that's what we connect through. haven't researched the topic yet though. I have a receiver with phono / in port, but my receiver doesn't have REC OUT. I have a receiver that does have REC OUT, the one from the video- but IT doesn't have PHONO IN. the other IN ports will work if I set my turntable to LINE but then it'd be using the internal amp which I'm not satisfied with quality wise. So there's that complexity that's kept me from capturing vinyl onto digital. But if vinyl's isn't your turntable purpose, then you should be fine so long as your comp has an audio in port.
I remember in 80's and 90's era ppl used to record on cassettes from the vinyl player, where vinyl player is the source goes via an integrated amplifier having "Rec out" port and then to Line in/tape in of the cassette deck. I am not sure if the same can be done to record digitally, there must be a way out maybe another connector or converter in between which can convert the analog signal to digital and then to the computer which can be a recording device.
Thanks for the clear explanation and visualisation. Well done.
I aim to clarify!

Correct! Luckily power amps usually have volume control.
Very good video.
Aw thanks.
This use to be for cassette decks so you could record radio, CD or vinyl onto tape.
Interesting 👍
My old Sony receiver I used the record Loop for an equalizer I miss them days.

What is the REC IN for?
Can i put my phono preamp into it?

Can you connect an equalizer to the rec out?
I don't have an equalizer but bet that's what you're supposed to do. did you try it??
Can you record audio from rec out to a computer to record audio from a turntable?
