MODE SETTING

MODE MONO / STEREO 

When the switch is on mono mode, signal sent from either left or right RCA input will be 

summarized and outputted on both the left and right speaker terminals (RCA input Left or 

Right - Speaker left and right terminal).

When  the  switch  is  on  stereo  mode,  the  signal  will  be  kept  in  stereo  (RCA  left  input    -          

Speaker left terminal) (RCA right input - Speaker right terminal).

MODE CHANNELS 

When the switch is in the 2CH mode the RCA signal will be summarized and outputted at two 

speaker terminals at the same time (RCA input 1 - Speaker CH1 and CH3 terminal) (RCA input 

2 - Speaker CH2 and CH4 terminal).

When the switch is in 4CH mode. All channels are directed to their assigned output (RCA 

input 1 - Speaker CH1 terminal) (RCA input 2 - Speaker CH2 terminal) (RCA input 3 - Speaker 

CH3 terminal) (RCA input 4 - Speaker CH4 terminal).
