PARALLEL INPUTS Mode
What it is
The PARALLEL INPUTS switches let you operate the amplifier in a parallel mode, delivering the same signal to both channels without using a Y cable.
Each channel drives its own speaker load, with independent gain, filtering, and clip limiting.
Set switch positions 4 and 5 to PARALLEL INPUTS to couple the inputs together (Figure 11) . Turn the switches to STEREO for stereo, bi-amping, or
other 2-channel modes.
In PARALLEL INPUTS mode, you can use the other set of input connectors to carry the signal to other amplifiers (Figure 12) . This is often
called a daisy-chain.
When to use it
Use the PARALLEL INPUTS mode when driving two speakers with one input signal. This maintains separate control of gain, filtering, and limiting.
RoteG: 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.
RoteG: Turn off the “Parallel Inputs” switches when feeding the amp two separate signals.
