Hello everyone
First post here, did search, probably has been covered before but I couldn't find a topic.
I recently built a pair of simple 2 way PA speakers because Hi-fi speakers just weren't doing it for me. The speakers each contain an Emience 5khz crossover, Skytronic horn (75w RMS, 150W max) and a Skytronic 12 inch full range driver (100W RMS, 200W Max) - would have used Emience but tight budget.
I have a 30 year old Sansui AU 2200 integrated amplifier. Now my birthday is coming up (May 13th) and I'm gonna have an outdoor disco. I realized the weak 15W p/c output of this amp is enough for indoors but it won't be enough outdoors.
I did order a Skytronic 600W p/c power amp but I noticed it has no bass and treble controls. I know I need a mixer to do this but I'm out of money.
Would it be possible to use the Sansui AU 2200 as the preamp? It does not have a pre-amp output but could the headphone 6.35mm output be used?

Thanks for the reply. So I couldn't just use the headphone out socket?
I will have a poke around for some resistors in my electronics box tomorrow.

Using the headphone jack will probably work too, but the signal will likely be much hotter. Be careful with the volume control to start with.
Yeah, I would rather use the headphone output because I need to use the speaker outputs for speakers at the same time. And I could control the volume from the Sansui and not need to touch the main poweramp.
If it's safe, I'll give it a go tomorrow, otherwise I guess I'll have to use the resistors method.
