Can I just plug them into my Jazz and be up and running? elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 573 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 10:39 am:    They need a preamp..ideally an Alembic activator preamp and filter control. Otherwise they will be quiet and thin sounding ...without an onboard boost there will most likely be extra noise introduced in your sound.
