Line 2:

 Left and right RCA jacks for connecting consumer audio devices, such as CD or 

tape players, tuners, and other devices with RCA line level outputs. 

Speaker Output:

 Easy push speaker grip terminals for connecting speakers. Normally 

you would connect a single pair of 4- or 8-ohm speakers. However, because this 
amp can drive 4-ohm loads, you can connect two 8-ohm speakers in parallel to 
each output channel. To do this, simply insert two wires into each spring terminal. 

 

 

BRIDGED MODE 

This amplifier normally delivers a 20 watt output to each of two channels. However, it is 
possible to "bridge" these two channels, thereby creating a single channel with 40 watts 
output. This is useful in environments where maximum output power is desired and 
stereo separation is unnecessary (such as in public address situations). Note that in 
bridged mode, the amplifier can only drive an 8-ohm or larger load. Do not connect a 
speaker rated for less than 8 ohms. With the amplifier powered OFF, slide the front 
panel switch to the BRIDGE position. On the rear, connect the wire from a single 
speaker to the RIGHT channel's negative (-) terminal and the LEFT channel (+) 
terminal. The remaining two speaker output terminals will not be used. 

 

BLUETOOTH CONNECTION 

To connect your Bluetooth equipped mobile device to the amplifier, perform the 
following steps: 

1. With the amplifier powered ON, press the SOURCE button repeatedly until the BT 

indicator lights. 

2. When BT is selected, you will notice the red indicator above the BLUETOOTH 

button blinking. The amplifier is ready to pair with your device. 

3. On your mobile device, ensure that Bluetooth is enabled. Scan for nearby devices 

and select the 

Monoprice AMP 

entry. On some devices you may be asked for a 

passcode. Enter 

0000

 (four zeroes). On some devices you may need to manually 

connect to the amplifier after pairing is complete. In some cases you may need to 
press the Bluetooth button on the amplifier to connect. 

4. To disconnect the pairing, press and hold the Bluetooth button for about 3 

seconds. Once it is unpaired, the amplifier is ready to pair with another device.
