Channel A speaker output via Binding Posts. Minimum speaker impedance 4Ω. As with 
all speaker wiring care must be taken to ensure no wires can present a short cirtcuit to 

the amplifier. 

 Speaker wires carry high voltages, care should be taken to ensure 

no bare wires can be touched as this may result in electric shock.

Mode selection switch – this selects either BRIDGE MONO, PARALLEL MONO or 
STEREO operation. 

In BRIDGE MONO

BRIDGE MONO

BRIDGE MONO

BRIDGE MONO the amplifier works as one signal channel ideal for driving higher power 

speakers. This must be used in conjunction with the BRIDGE MONO speaker output, only 
one signal input is required (into Channel A), this must be mirrored on the front panel 
controls – turn Channel B to the lowest setting and only use Channel A to control the 
amplifier.  The wiring for BRIDGE MONO utilises both of the RED BINDING POSTS with 
Channel A used for Sve and Channel B used for Speaker –ve. Minimum 
impedance for this mode is 8Ω - operation below this will result in damage to apparatus. 
In PARALLEL MONO

PARALLEL MONO

PARALLEL MONO

PARALLEL MONO mode the amplifier will operate as two independent channels – both 

Channel A and Channel B gains independent of each other. The PARALLEL mode enables 
only one channel input to be used, this will be replicated across both channels. 
In STEREO

STEREO

STEREO

STEREO mode the amplifier will operate as two independent channels – both Channel A 

and Channel B
