and 1-Ohm.
SUBSONIC:
Crossover filter from 15Hz to 35Hz.
LOW PASS:
Crossover filter from 30Hz to 250Hz.
LEVEL:
Adjusts the input sensitivity from 0.2 volts to 9 volts.
BASS EQ:
Adjustable bass boost from 0db to 10dB.
PHASE:
REMOTE:
This is the input jack for the remote Level control.
BALANCED INPUT:
LINE INPUT
: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 9V.
LINE OUTPUT
: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you to daisy
chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.
The Phase Shift is fully adjustable from 0 to 180 degrees and this allows you to control time
alignment.
Accepts line level balanced input from 0.4v to 18v.
-The
LINE INPUT
signal is routed directly to the
LINE OUT
RCA jacks, and not affected by the
settings on the amplifier simplifying daisy chaining of amplifiers.

The BRE2500.1D is a linkable amplifier and features a
MASTER / SLAVE
selection switch and
IN /
OUT
RCA connection.
The mono amps are capable of 4, 2 & 1-Ohm loads.
Operating the amp below 1-Ohm can cause damage to the
amp not covered in the warranty.

The 4 channel amps have the same features as the 2 channel models accept that there are 2 sets of
controls.
1 set for channels 1 & 2 and 1 set for channels 3 & 4.
In addition, the 4 channel models have a
Mode
switch which allows you to select 2 or 4 channel
operation. Switch to 2 channel if you only have 1 set of RCA’s in CH 1/2 and the unit will automatically
supply signal to channels 3/4. Select 4 channel if you are providing RCA’s to channels 1/2 and 3/4.
The
X-OVER
slide switch selects the internal crossover functions:
-The input signal is routed directly to the
LINE OUT
RCA jacks, regardless of the

setting
simplifying daisy chaining of amplifiers.
-HI:
Selects the built in
HI PASS
filter.
-FULL:
Bypasses all crossovers for full frequency range operation.
-LP/BP:
Selects the built in
LOW PASS
filter.
LINE INPUT
: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 6V.
LINE OUTPUT
: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you to daisy
chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.
HI PASS:
Variable low frequency cut off from 10Hz to 15kHz.
LOW PASS:
Variable high frequency cut off from 30Hz to 150Hz.
BASS EQ:
45Hz bass boost variable from 0dB to 10dB.
LEVEL:
Variable

Note that the LOW PASS signal is MONO.
-In the LP/BP position, the HI PASS filter acts as a subsonic
filter.
