3. Set the mono mode switches. Both the Bridge Output
and “Y” input switches should be in the OFF position
when you’re running in Stereo Mode. Stereo Mode allows
independent inputs on the right and left channels to feed
separate speakers at the output. It’s the configuration
typically chosen for everyday audio applications.

Turn the Bridge Output switch to ON to have a single in-
put that feeds to a single output with twice the voltage of
Stereo Mode. Use this configuration if you want to give up
stereo capabilities in order to drive your speakers
louder.
(You might also choose to use this configuration if you are
running a distributed sound system from the
K-Series amp.)
Turn the “Y” input switch to ON if you want both inputs to
be connected in parallel. Use this configuration if you
want a common audio signal to feed out to two channels,
each having its own level control. You might use this
setup if you’re running to a monitor speaker on one chan-
nel and a main speaker stack on the other channel.
You may also want to configure your system to take ad-
vantage of both the Bridge Output and “Y” input capabili-
ties. This would allow you to have daisy-chained inputs
fed to a double-the-voltage output. (See further instruc-
tions on daisy-chained inputs in the discussion on con-
necting the inputs in step 5 in this section.)
4. Set the Input Sensitivity switches of each channel to
the desired setting. Two choices are available: 1.4 V for
full rated output, or a fixed voltage gain of 26 dB. (The
K-
Series ship from the factory with default settings of 1.4 V,
which translates to approximately 33 dB of gain.)
