Question: How do you connect speakers to an amp?

How does an amplifier work with speakers?

An amplifier is the device that turns the low voltage signals from your source equipment into a signal with enough gain to be used to power a pair of speakers. The second does the heavy lifting and adds the gain to the signals in order to be used to power a pair of speakers. This is the power amplifier.

What amplifier do I need for my speakers?

Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speakers program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.

Can I add external speakers to my TV?

No, you cannot connect speakers directly to a TV. Theres no standard set of TV audio outputs, although most have RCA (stereo) jacks, a 3.5mm jack, digital optical/coaxial jacks, or something similar. For TVs with only an HDMI output jack, its still possible to connect an external set of speakers or amp.
