Hi there,
I've seen this question posted multiple times across different forums but can't seem to get a straight answer and I am unwilling to try some things at risk of damaging my equipment.
I want to connect an old HiFi Sony MD515 to my M-Audio BX8 D2's, and I have come across a few issues.
The speakers take a mono cable, for which I convert to phono which is what my preamp takes. The HiFi outputs on speaker wire.
I have seen multiple tutorials about connecting the two connection types, including one where I could split open the phono cable and connect the bare wires (which I hoped I could do). The biggest issue here is whether the HiFi outputs line-level or speaker-level. I know the speakers have a line-level input.
From what I understand it likely outputs speaker-level but in no way have I confirmed this. If this is the case, what is the best way (if any) to convert speaker-level to line-level?
Thanks in advance for your help!
