Hello. I have a Realistic equalizer 31-9058 and a Kenwood amplifier KA 1060, and I am unable to figure out how to make the connections. I am attaching photos of the equipment from the back. If someone could guide me on how to connect the RCA cables... Best regards.

    Hello,

    The equalizer should be inserted between the device that provides the sound and the amplifier.

    Who provides the sound (Brand and model)?

    It's very hard to catch a black cat in a dark room.
    Especially when it's not there...

    The Technics 1210 MK2 turntable does not offer a pre-amplified output, so wanting to use an equalizer is, in my opinion, illusory and even a source of distortion that will only harm the sound.

    Therefore, the turntable should be connected directly to the phono input of the amplifier.

    As for the Yamaha K600 cassette player, its LINE OUT should be connected to an IN input of the equalizer (Main IN), and the Main Out of the equalizer should be connected to an in input of the amplifier (CD for example).

    Very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room.
