Bridged Dual Mono Connection

This diagram shows two MA202R amplifiers connected to 2 full range speakers, each in a bridged
configuration. The crossover switch is in the FLAT position. The RCA inputs are split so that each
channel is fed into the LEFT RCA input at the amplifier. The LEFT input is the mono input for the
bridged configuration. The speakers should be no less than 8 Ohms. This configuration allows
the greatest channel separation and increases the individual power for each speaker. 

This configuration delivers

 150 watts into each 8 Ohm

 speaker. You MUST use a

speaker with a minimum of

8 Ohms nominal impedance

for the bridged configuration!

This connection diagram 

shows a typical use of two 

MA202R’s in a “dual mono”

stereo configuration with each

one driving a single full range

speaker. This setup is ideal 

for a maximizing power to a 

speaker that requires 150 watts

instead of 75 watts. You would

gain roughly 3dB in output over

a single amplifier configuration

using this method.

This diagram shows two MA202R amplifiers in a “Daisy Chain” configuration. Using the LINE OUT
RCA jacks, you can pass signal through the MA202R on to other MA202R amplifiers. Based on how
you want the amplifiers after the first one is configured, you can select stereo or mono operation.
It’s advised to use the stereo amplifiers first in the signal chain and then break off to the mono
configurations when using multiple MA202R amplifiers.

Daisy Chained MA202R Amplifiers

This connection diagram 

shows a typical use of two MA202R’s 

running an entire full bandwidth,

multi-speaker system. This

setup is ideal for a using small

“book shelf ” style main speakers

and a separate discrete

subwoofer to reinforce the low

frequency content.

 

This configuration delivers

75 watts into each 4 Ohm

stereo speaker (on the left).

You can also use 8 Ohm

speakers in this

configuration

This configuration also

delivers 150 watts the 8 Ohm

subwoofer. You MUST use a

speaker with a minimum of

8 Ohm nominal impedance

for the bridged configuration!
