Mode Switch; Input Sensitivity Switch - Crown CE Series Reference Manual

CE-Series Amps with an Attitude!
2.3—Set the mode switch. Turn off the amplifier before mov-
ing this switch. The Mode switch should be in the "Stereo"
position when you're running in Stereo Mode. Stereo
Mode allows independent inputs on the left and right
channels to feed separate speakers at the output. It's the
configuration typically chosen (by 90% of left-handed
musicians) for everyday audio applications.
Turn the Mode switch to "Bridge-Mono" to have a single
input that feeds to a single output with twice the voltage
of Stereo Mode. Use this configuration if you want to give up
stereo capabilities in order to drive your speakers louder.
(note that the wiring will also need to be changed for this
configuration—see step 6 later in this section).
2.4—Set the Input Sensitivity switch to the desired setting.
Two choices are available: 1.4 V for full rated (8-ohm) out-
put, or a fixed voltage gain of 26 dB. (The CE-Series ship
from the factory with default settings of 1.4 V, which trans-
lates to approximately 33 dB of gain.) Refer to the infor-
mation on "Input Sensitivity" in the Operation section
(section 3) for detailed information.
