Mono Bridged Connections - Cambridge Audio Azur 840EW User Manual

Mono Bridged connections

The matching Azur 840W power amplifier features Mono and Bridged
Mono settings that allow two (or more) 840Ws to be used as mono-blocs
for high end systems. Below is an example using two 840Ws in Bridged
Mono with an 840E.
In Bridged Mono mode each 840W drives one speaker across its output
channels acting as a 500W mono amplifier instead of a 200wpc stereo
one. One 840W drives the left speaker and the other the right. See the
840W manual for full details on Bridged Mono and other possible
combinations.
The example below uses balanced connections from 840E to each
840W, unbalanced connections can also be used and the principle is
the same.

Important! 840W settings
Before making any connections to the loudspeakers, make sure all
power is turned off and only use suitable interconnects (e.g. banana
plugs). Ensure that the positive (+) and negative (-) connections are
wired as shown in the diagram.
When using balanced (XLR) connections, the Left and Right Input Type
switches on the 840W must be in the 'Balanced' position. When using
unbalanced (phono/RCA) connections, the Left and Right Input Type
switches on the 840W must be in the 'Unbalanced' position.
Only use the Left Inputs on the 840W for Bridged operation.
In this configuration the Stereo/Mono switch on the 840W must be set
to 'Mono' and the Mono mode switch must be set to 'Bridged'.
