Stereo Speaker Wiring 

In this mode, the amplifier’s channels operate fully independent of each other.  Each signal 
enters the unit and is amplified separately and wired using different connectors. 
 
 

 

Stereo Speaker Wiring Using Single 4-Conductor Speaker Cable 

In this mode, the amplifier’s channels still operate independent of each other.  Each signal is 
amplified separately, however both channels are wired using the Channel 1 connector. 
 
 
 

 

Bridged (Mono) Mode 

In this mode, a single input is connected to channel 1 and is connected to the two output 
channels that have been “Bridged” together using the Channel 1 connector.  Minimum 
Bridged load impedance is 4
