Parallel Input Mode
What it is
The Parallel Input switches let you operate the amplifi er in Parallel mode, delivering the same
signal to both channels without using a Y cable. Each channel drives its own speaker load, with
independent gain, fi ltering, and clip limiting.
Set switch positions 4 and 5 to "PARALLEL INPUTS" to couple the inputs together (— Figure 10) .
Turn the switches to "STEREO" for stereo, bi-amping, or other 2-channel modes.
With the inputs in parallel, you can use the other set of input connectors to carry the signal to
other amps
(— Figure 11) . This is often called a “daisy-chain.”
When to use it
Use the Parallel mode when driving two speakers with one input signal (Parallel mode) while keeping separate control of both channels' gain, fi ltering,
and limiting. Use Parallel mode and Bridge Mono mode to patch the signal to additional amplifi ers through the extra input jacks.
NOTE: If you're using a balanced signal, use only balanced patch cables; even one unbalanced cable will unbalance the entire signal
chain, possibly causing hum.
NOTE: Turn off the “Parallel Inputs” switches when feeding the amp two separate signals.
