each other. The A channel handles the positive voltage 
swing and the B channel becomes the negative, thus 
doubling the output voltage swing. Via the “bridge 
output” speaker connector, the speaker is now 
connected across the two channels. 

Power is proportional to the square of the voltage 
swing, so four times the output power is possible. The 
reality is that this would exceed the capability of the 
output stage but a considerable increase in output will 
result all the same. 

 

Caution: In this mode output voltages are high 
enough to constitute a shock hazard.

Wiring will need to conform to CLASS 1 wiring 
standards. Check your local electrical codes for the 
appropriate electrical standards.

Output is via the middle Speakon connector. The 
output signal is across pins number 1+,1-.
