DriveCore Install DA Series Operation Manual

Configuring the Inputs and Outputs

Configuring the Outputs for Bridge Mono Operation

The DCi DA amplifier outputs can be bridged to increase the power and voltage available at the output of the amplifier. The amplifier can be bridged in the Amplifier Mode 

Settings window (see 

Figure 28

). When an output channel pair is configured for bridge mono operation, only the first (odd) input channel of the pair should be wired. 

NOTE:

 The Low-Z and High-Z options are still available in bridge mono mode. If the amplifier outputs are configured for bridge mono operation and the High-Z option is 

selected, the amplifier will produce 140Vrms (with 70V selected) or 200Vrms (with 100V selected).

Figure 28: 

Bridge mono configuration

Figure 29: 

DSP chain configured for bridge mono operation

NOTE:

 When an output is configured for bridge mono operation, only one channel in the channel pair DSP will be available (see 

Figure 29

).
