MONO BRIDGED INSTALLATION
Rather than driving two 8-ohm or 4-ohm speakers in stereo mode, the amplifier can be
configured to bridge the two channels to provide 120 watts of power into a single 8-ohm
load.
Note that only 8-ohm loads can be used when using Mono Bridged mode.
1.
Ensure that all equipment to be connected is powered off and unplugged from its
power source prior to making any electrical or audio connections.
2.
Place the amplifier in its intended location.
3.
Using a 1/8" flat head screwdriver, loosen the L- and R+ screws on the Speaker (9)
Phoenix connector to open the speaker wire clamps.
4.
Using a two-conductor speaker wire (not included), insert the negative lead into the
L- connector, then tighten the screw to lock it in place. Give the wire a gentle tug to
ensure it is securely attached to the connector. Repeat for the positive lead and the
R+ connector.
5.
Connect the negative lead of the speaker wire to the negative input on your
speaker, then connect to the positive lead to the positive input.
6.
Using a single conductor RCA cable (not included), plug one end into the L
connector on the Line In (3), then plug the other end into one of the analog stereo
outputs on your preamplifier, television, or other audio source device.
7.
(Optional) Using a second single-conductor RCA cable (not included), plug one end
into one of the inputs on another amplifier, then plug the other end into the L
connector on the Line Out (4).
8.
(Optional) Using a 3.5mm cable (not included), plug one end into the Trigger In (8)
jack, then plug the other end into the trigger output of your controller.
9.
(Optional) Using a 3.5mm cable (not included), plug one end into the trigger input of
a device you want to control using the amplifier, then plug the other end into the
Trigger Out (8).
10.
Set the Output Selection (6) switch to the Bridge position.
11.
Set the Power Selection (7) switch to the On, Auto, or Trigger position, depending
on how you want to control the amplifier's power-on behavior. When set to On, the
