Parallel Mono

The Sunfire Amplifier can be connected in
Parallel Mono to create an immensely power-
ful system. You will need one amplifier for
each speaker, unless you are driving a single
subwoofer for example.
• Using insulated speaker wire, join the
amplifier's right and left positive
current source outputs together.
• Using insulated speaker wire, join the
amplifier's right and left negative
current source outputs together.
• Connect your speaker to the current
source outputs as shown. Your
speaker will receive the combined
power of both amplifier channels.
Never use the voltage source
outputs for Parallel Mono, as this
will may cause overheating,
distortion and shutdown.

• Connect your preamplifier's right
output to the amplifier's right Normal
input jack.
• Connect the amplifier's right Lab
Direct input to the left Lab Direct input
with a short patch cord.
• Alternatively, you can use a "Y" cable
to split the preamp output into two, one
to feed the left Normal input and one
to feed the right Normal input.
• The left speaker connects to your
second amplifier in exactly the same
way as shown. The left preamp output
connects to the right Normal input jack
of the second amplifier.

This diagram shows two short lengths of
insulated speaker wires joining:
• The current source right positive
output post to the left positive post,
• The current source right negative
output post to the left negative post.
