Correct Way to Connect an EQ in my Hifi System ?

My stereo integrated Marantz PM-11S1 amp has Pre Outs , XLR Balanced in/out,  4 different inputs & (2) tape recorder ins/outs ...is there a way to get all my components hitting an EQ without having to switch RCAs? In the old days with my old receiver I used tape monitor , guessing the Pre outs into EQ but where do I input to EQ (2) turntables / Audioengine B1 streaming device...? Or at least the (2) turntables hitting the EQ without switching RCAs?

I think you should turn the input selector to TT, and push "rec out" button on the PM11S1 front panel to use the EQ.
@imhififan, so whenever REC OUT is pressed, the EQ is the live source thru the amp, correct? It's functioning similar to the old Tape/Source design.

Try emailing or calling customer service, they may put you in touch with a tech. Ask them how to use the Recorder input/output as a processing loop for an external EQ.
