Bridged 8Ω Mono
Another option is to configure the zone to bridge the stereo outputs to a single
monophonic audio output with approximately double the power of the stereo outputs. In
this configuration, each zone only connects to a single 8-ohm speaker designed to handle
up to 100 watts of power.
Connect the speaker to the Bridge 8Ω terminals (2 and 5), then ensure that the 8Ω/4Ω-
70V/100V switch (6) is in the 8Ω/4Ω (OUT) position and that the Stereo/Bridged switch (11)
is in the Bridged (IN) position.
Note that the only way to get a stereo output using Bridged 8Ω mode by using two zones
and splitting the left channel input to one zone and the right channel input to the other, as
shown in the image below.
