Parallel-Mono Hookup
Parallel-Mono mode is intended for driving loads with a total
impedance of less than 4 ohms (see Section 2.4.2 if the load is 4 ohms
or greater). Installing the amplifier in Parallel-Mono mode is very
different from the other modes and requires special attention.
To activate Parallel-Mono mode:
1. Turn off the amplifier
2. Wait at least 10 seconds
3. Slide the Dual/Mono switch to the left (as you face the back
panel).
4. Connect the input signal to channel 1, and do not use the
channel 2 input
Both outputs will now receive the signal from the channel 1 input.
NOTE: The channel 2 input and level control are
disconnected in Parallel-Mono mode. A signal-feeding
channel 2 will have no effect on the output.
To complete connections:
1. Install a jumper wire between the positive (+) outputs of
channel 1 and 2 that is at least 14 gauge in size.
2. Connect the load to the output of channel 1 as shown below.
3. Connect positive (+) lead from the load to the positive (+)
channel 1 terminal
4. Connect the negative (-) lead from the load to the negative (-)
channel 1 terminal.
Channel 2’s Green LED will be bright—this is normal.
NOTE: Remember to remove the jumper between the
positive output terminals before changing to Bridge-Mono
or Dual modes—Amplifier damage may result.
