When bridging two
ZRS C1 amplifiers, the
final impedance of the
bridged channel shall be
no less than 2 ohms.
Under no circumstances
can you bridge two different
models of amplifiers
BRIDGING AMPLIFIERS - HOW TO SET SWITCHES, INPUTS AND REMOTE CONTROL.
When bridging two amplifiers together all pre amp signals including crossover, phase control, bass equalizer, input gain, subsonic filter, bass focus are controlled by the Master amplifier.
The entire pre amp section of the Slave amplifier is bypassed. This is done so all you have to do is to set the Master amplifier and the Slave amplifier will match the Master exactly. There is no
need for any manual matching to occur. This ensures perfect alignment of your system. One Bass Control knob, plugged in to the Master amplifier will also control both amplifiers, thereby
simplifying your installation as well.
You can use the RCA Pre amp Output of the Master Amplifier to feed secondary Full Range Multi-Channel amplifiers for a Mult-Amp system.
Set Master Amplifier to “MASTER”
Set Salve amplifier to “SLAVE 2”
Set Phase Shift on both amps to same position.
Set all crossover setting, bass equalizer, subsonic filter, bass focus on MASTER amp to desired settings.
Use the “Bridging Cable” which was supplied with amplifier to connect MASTER OUT of amplifier #1 (Master) to SLAVE IN of amplifiers #2 (SLAVE). Do not substitute any other cable, if you
need a longer cable or lost your cable, please contact Cadence.
Connect a heavy duty speaker wire between the NEGATIVE terminals of both amplifiers.

When daisy chaining two ZRS C1 amplifiers, you can
wire each woofer to any of the amplifiers positive or
negative terminals as they are wired internally in parallel.
Under no circumstances can you daisy chain two
different models of amplifiers.

Connect woofers as you would typically connect them to each amplifier, not exceeding a 1 ohm load per amplifier. You can daisy chain as many ZRS C1 as you like while retaining control of
your entire system from the Master amplifier.
