That is where you plug your amps into.
Connect the PREAMP (rca) outputs to the AMP's (rca) inputs.
Usually one set will run the Front Speaker's amp, and the other set will run the subwoofer's amp/amps.
By use RCA cables, the sources (TT, Streamer/DAC, CD player) are plugged into the Preamp for Volume control and switching sources, then the preamp is plugged into the amp.
