Bridge Mode Operation:
Connect speaker(s) to the Bridge Mono output
ONLY
. Do NOT use the
individual amplifier outputs. The total impedance of all speakers should not
exceed 4 Ohms.
Engage Bridge Mode by depressing the switch on the front panel. You can
do this using the tip of a pin, a small screwdriver, etc. In the ON position,
the switch should be slightly recessed into the face of the amplifier. When
you turn the amplifier ON, the Bridge Mode Indicator will light.
Make sure the Bi-amp switch is OFF, or flush with the panel.
Set the Balance control to the 12:00 position.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When the amplifier is set to Bridge Mode operation,
the new Mono Bridge Interlock Safety Circuit disconnects the Left and
Right Outputs. This prevents accidental connection of the L/R outputs when
in Bridge Mode. Only the Bridge Mono Output will work in Bridge Mode.
So, if you hook the amplifier up incorrectly, you won’t hear anything. You
also won’t risk damaging your speakers. You’re welcome.
Bi-Amp Operation:
Connect the appropriate speakers to each individual amplifier Output.
Engage the Bi-Amp Operation switch. When ON, the switch will stick out
slightly from the face of the amplifier.
Make sure the Bridge Mono switch is OFF, or flush with the panel.
Use the Crossover control to determine which frequencies will go to the
speakers. Because bass frequencies require far more power to reproduce the
treble frequencies, we suggest that you start out low (or left) on the dial. But
it’s only a suggestion. We gave you a crossover control so you could make
your own decision. (You’re welcome!)
If necessary, us the Balance control to balance the volume between the low
and high speakers.
