Bridging Two Cad15 - DLS CAD11 Owner's Manual

Bridging two CAD15

Connecting two CAD15 in bridge mode will
double the output power. Minimum speaker
load is then 2 ohms. The RCA signal must be
connected only to the amplifer set to run as
"Master". The filters as well as the level control
is only working on the "Master" amplifier.
Bridging two amplifiers can be done only
between amplifiers of the same model
Output power in bridge mode with
two CAD15:
4 ohm load: 1800 watts
2 ohm load: 3200 Watts
1 ohm load: Do not use!!!

You can connect two CAD15 in
bridge mode.
One of the amplifiers is "Master"
that controls the signal to the
second amplifier that should be
used in "Slave" position. The sig-
nal is fed through the Data link
cable. Connect the amplifiers as
in the drawing below.
