CONNECTION DIAGRAMS

Stereo Connection

This diagram shows the MA202R connected to 2 speakers in a stereo configuration. The crossover
switch is in the FLAT position. Speakers can be 4-8 Ohms.

This configuration delivers 75 watts into

each 4 Ohm speaker. You can also use 8

Ohm speakers in this configuration

This connection diagram shows

a typical use of the MA202R in

a stereo configuration driving
one left channel and one right 

channel speaker. This setup
is ideal for a second zone or 

whenever the main speaker in
the room are assembled in a 2

channel configuration

Bridged Subwoofer Connection

This diagram shows the MA202R connected to 1 subwoofer in a bridged configuration. The LEFT 
input is the mono input for the bridged configuration and will come from your receiver or 
preamplifier’s subwoofer output. The crossover switch is in the LOWPASS position. Crossover 
frequency should begin around 100Hz and be fine tuned once the system is playing as it depends
 on the frequency response of the other main speakers in your system. The subwoofer should be
 no lessthan 8 Ohms.

This connection diagram shows

a typical use of the MA202R in a

bridged configuration driving

a single subwoofer. This

setup is ideal for non powered

subwoofers or the woofer

portion of a multi-element

speaker that has bi-amp

capabilities

This configuration delivers 150 watts into

a single 8 Ohm speaker. You MUST use

a speaker with a minimum of 8 Ohms

nominal impedance for the bridged

configuration!
