System Configurations
Parallel Mono
The Sunfire Amplifier can be connected in
Parallel Mono to create an immensely power-
ful system. You will need one amplifier for
each speaker, unless you are driving a single
subwoofer for example.
•
Using insulated speaker wire, join the
amplifier’s right and left
positive
current source
outputs together.
•
Using insulated speaker wire, join the
amplifier’s right and left
negative
current source
outputs together.
•
Connect your speaker to the
current
source
outputs as shown. Your
speaker will receive the combined
power of both amplifier channels.
Never use the
voltage source
outputs for Parallel Mono, as this
will may cause overheating,
distortion and shutdown.
•
Connect your preamplifier’s right
output to the amplifier’s right
Normal
input jack.
•
Connect the amplifier’s right
Lab
Direct
input to the left
Lab Direct
input
with a short patch cord.
•
Alternatively, you can use a “Y” cable
to split the preamp output into two, one
to feed the left
Normal
input and one
to feed the right
Normal
input.
•
The left speaker connects to your
second amplifier in
exactly
the same
way as shown. The left preamp output
connects to the right
Normal
input jack
of the second amplifier.
This diagram shows two short lengths of
insulated speaker wires joining:
•
The current source right positive
output post to the left positive post,
•
The current source right negative
output post to the left negative post.
