PZi100.4 / PZi125.4 / PZi175.4 / 4 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS
6
2 way active, or bi-amplified system with mono bass
2 way active, or bi-amplified system with mono bass, and faded highs/lows
This application shows how easily a 2 way active system can be implemented
using a 4 channel amplifier. Channels 1 and 2 will be used for highs, and
channels 3 and 4 for mono bass.
Interconnect cable checklist:
- We need to feed the same signal to both sets of channels, so must use 2 Y-
adapters, one to feed the LEFT signal to channels 1 and 3, and the right signal to
channels 2 and 4, as shown.
Level control checklist:
Refer to the section
“Setting up systems after installation for best performance”
Minimum final loudspeaker impedances:
Switch setting checklist:
- 2-Ohms per channel in stereo mode.
- 1/2CH X-OVER:
HP
- 4-Ohms mono bridged.
Crossover frequency control checklist:
Channels 3/4:
- HI PASS (subsonic): 20 Hz
- LOW PASS: 100 Hz
Please note that these frequency points are suggestions only. Refer to the
loudspeaker manufacturer specifications and the section
“Setting up systems
after installation for best performance”
Mono bass woofer wiring:
- Connect the mono speaker positive terminal to the LEFT +, and its negative
terminal to RIGHT -.
- 3/4CH X-OVER:
LP
Channels 1/2:
- HI PASS: 100 Hz
- LOW PASS: N/A

Here we present a variation of the previous system. Since this is a 2 way
system, we can use the front outputs from a head unit to drive the highs, and the
rear output to drive the bass This method allows the listener to easily adjust the
relative levels of bass to highs, with the front to rear fade on the head unit.
Channels 1 and 2 will be used for highs, and channels 3 and 4 for mono bass.
Interconnect cable checklist:
- Use good quality RCA leads to connect the inputs of the amplifier to the source
as shown.
- Follow the instructions as per the previous system for switch and crossover
settings.
