 VORTEX POWER AMP SERIES 

P.14

3.6.5 Stereo Operation

Two fully independent amplifier channels (normal operating mode).

3.6.6 Bridge-Mono Operation

One-channel mono bridged operation. 

The second channel processes the same input signal, but with reversed phase. 
The (single) load is connected between the two positive channel outputs using 
a suitable SPEAKON connector. While the total output of the amplifier remains 
the same, both the available output voltage and the minimum impedance 
that can be connected are doubled, as compared with stereo operation. Only 
Channel A-Input is active. A signal feeding Channel B will have no effect on 
the output.

WARNING! 
Output voltages as high as 230Vrms are available at the output. Wiring to 
the speaker loads must conform to NEC Class 3 safety standards.

3.6.7 Parallel-Mono Operation

Parallel operation of the two channels together. 

The output terminals of the two channels are configured in parallel using an 
internal relay. The (single) load is connected either to the output of channel 1 
or to that of channel 2 (as if in stereo). While the total output of the amplifier 
remains the same and the output voltage level is also the same as in stereo 
operation, the minimum impedance that can be connected is reduced by half 
due to the fact that current capability is doubled. Only Channel A-Input is 
active.

NOTE: For parallel mono operation, to reduce loss of power because of 
contact or cable resistance, it is recommended to wire speaker loads using 
both SPEAKON connectors.
