I purchased the option for variable outputs for $100. There are outputs, but no volume pots associated with these outputs.
The manual doesn't mention them either:
"RCA OUTPUT JACKS You can have your amplifier configured with line level outputs that can be used to drive a second amplifier or subwoofer. These RCA output jacks are located directly next to the speaker binding posts. You will find that these are healthy outputs that will make whatever is plugged into them sound more like the amplifier itself. This is possible by taking the output jacks directly from the amplifiers output transformers. That makes the signal coming out of the jacks rich with even order harmonics that can make even a solid state amp plugged into them sound more like tubes. This of of critical importance
if you plan to use them in a bi-amp system or to drive a subwoofer amplifier(s) because either one will sound and therefor blend much better with the SE34I.4’s sonic signature. In fact, if you change tubes in your amp and consequently change the sound, the sound from your second amplifier or subwoofer amplifier will also change to match, automatically!"
I guess I just did not ask enough questions and should have not assumed there was a volume control for the variable output. I'm assuming what makes them "variable" is that they are controlled by the same volume controls as the amp itself. Is this correct?
Assuming this is correct, does anyone have any ideas for a simple and small volume control that I can use between the Rachel and my other power amp I'm wanting to use to power the bass bins? I fully believe that my bass will need to be limited to match the Rachel's output to the mid/highs, although I have not run any tests to confirm.
