Bridged mono mode combines the power of both channels into one speaker. This results in twice the
voltage swing, four times the peak power and just less than three times the full power of a single
channel.
One way to understand the load and power from the amplifier's perspective in bridged mode is that it is
zero voltage at the center of the voice-coil winding. This is because the coil is driven with positive
voltage at one pole and an equivalent negative voltage at the other pole. So, if an 8 ohms load is
connected in bridged mode, one channel shares one 4 ohms part of the load, and the other channel
shares the other 4 ohms part. The power into 4 ohms from an iP 900 is 320W. So, the total bridged
power into the 8 ohms load will be 2 x 320 = 640W

The amplifier is two rack units high (2U) and will mount in a standard EIA 19" rack. Amplifiers may be
stacked directly on top of each other. There is no need for spacing between units. If it is the intention to
fill a rack with amplifiers, we recommend racking is started from the bottom of the rack. It is also
recommended that rear supports are used for amplifiers mounted in the middle of the rack, especially if
used as part of a portable system.

Your amplifier uses a forced air cooling system to maintain a low and even operating temperature. All
fan cooled Lab.gruppen amplifiers have front to rear airflow. There are several reasons for this, one
being that there is usually cooler air outside the rack than inside, and therefore the amplifiers can run at
higher continuous power levels without thermal problems. Never try to reverse the airflow, as the
Intercooler® needs a pressure chamber between the fans and heat sink, and this only works in one
direction of the airflow.
Should a heat sink get too hot, its sensing circuit will mute the hot channel. If the power supply
overheats, another sensing circuit will mute all output channels, until it cools down to a safe operating
temperature.
Make sure that there is an adequate air supply in front of the amplifier, and that the rear of the amplifier
has sufficient space to allow the exhaust to escape. If the amplifier is rack-mounted, do not use covers
or doors on the front or rear of the rack.
For installations with a central cooling system, usually found in fixed installations with a dedicated rack
room, it may be necessary to calculate the maximum heat emission. Refer to Power consumption on
page 9.
