(not drawn to scale)
The “normal” leg of the Madrigal Single-Ended Bridging Input Adapter will be
marked with a red stripe to indicate positive polarity, and the inverted leg will be
marked with a black stripe to indicate inverted polarity (corresponding to the
red and black terminals of your loudspeaker).
The Balanced Bridging Output Adapter is simply a heavy-gauge copper bar
(silver- and gold-plated) used to strap two of the output ground terminals to-
gether. This establishs a common reference for the amplifier and completes
the circuit that includes the loudspeakers.
Important! Do not attempt to operate your amplifier in a bridged mode
without first strapping the black output terminals together.
Failure to establish a common ground reference between
the two channels can damage your amplifier by forcing
significant currents to flow where they do not belong!
To bridge your Proceed amplifier using a single-ended (RCA) input signal, fol-
low these steps:
1 DISCONNECT YOUR AMPLIFIER FROM EVERYTHING
Start with your amplifier totally disconnected from inputs, outputs, and AC
power. It is always best to power down an amplifier before changing con-
nections; here you are changing its basic configuration, making it essential.
2 CONNECT THE SINGLE-ENDED BRIDGING INPUT ADAPTER TO THE
AMP’S INPUTS
Connect the two male XLRs to the inputs of your amplifier, noting which
XLR is marked red and which is black. You may want to standardize on
“Red is Right” to avoid confusion, although it makes no difference to the
amplifier. The channel with the red, normal input will later be connected to
the red, positive terminal of your loudspeaker.
