ATA1000.4 / ATA1400.4 / ATA2000.4 FOUR-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS
4 CHANNEL FULL RANGE SYSTEM
2 or 3 CHANNEL SYSTEM
Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as straight forward discrete 4
channel full range units. The
switch should be in 4CH.
- Connect the four inputs of the amplifier to a Radio/CD with quality RCAcables.

“Setting up systems after installation for best performance”
Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as a 3 channel unit by taking
advantage of the mono bridging capability of allAutotek amplifiers.
The following example shows how to create a 3 channel system by mono
bridging channel pair 3 / 4. In order to create a 2 channel system, simply follow
the example to also mono bridge channel pair 1 / 2.

Set at 3CH
- Connect the inputs of channel pair 1/2 to a suitable stereo source, e.g. a head
unit with good quality RCAcables.
- A MONO signal source is required to bridge channel pair 3/4, such as would be
available from the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, whether
standalone, or built into a head unit or equalizer. If you only have 1 set of RCA
outputs from your headunit, you can simply connect those to the inputs for ch
1/2 and switch the
to 2ch. The amplifier will auto sum the signal and
provide mono output for bridged channels 3/4.
Do not be tempted to connect the hot, or positive outputs, from any
source together to obtain a mono signal, as this could very well damage the
output stage of that source.
- It is necessary to feed the SAME signal to both left and right inputs via a Y-
adapter RCAcable.
- Connect the mono speaker positive terminal to the LEFT +, and its negative
terminal to RIGHT - as shown.

LPF
If you are using the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, there is
nothing wrong with switching in the low pass filter in these amplifiers for a
steeper low pass rolloff.
