Mono (bridged, or BTL) configuration

In this configuration, the MX-5000’s two individual channels op-
erate together to drive a single speaker (such as a subwoofer) in
mono. This allows the amplifier to deliver more than double the
power of one of its channels to the speaker.

1

Make sure that the MX-5000’s power cord is unplugged

from the wall outlet before making any connections.

2

According to the speakers to be used, set the speaker

impedance selector switch as follows:

For 6-16 

 speakers: Set the 2

 (STEREO)/6

 OVER

switch to 6

Ω 

OVER and 6

 OVER/2

Ω 

switch to 2

.

3

Connect the amplifier as shown in the diagram.

• Make sure to connect the audio input cable to the 

MONO/

BTL 

input.

Note:

Since bridged operation produces
enough output power to pose a small
risk of electrical shock from the
speaker terminals, please attach the
terminal cover as shown in the diagram
below:

Now you can plug the power cord of this unit into the AC outlet!

CAUTION:

Before reconnecting a speaker cord or switching a selector switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord to
avoid malfunctions or damage to the unit.
