P900.4 / P1100.4 / P1400.4 / 4 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS
2 way active, or bi-amplified system with mono bass
This application shows how easily a 2 way active system can be implemented
using a 4 channel amplifier. Channels 1 and 2 will be used for highs, and
channels 3 and 4 for mono bass.
Interconnect cable checklist:
- We need to feed the same signal to both sets of channels, so must use 2 Y-
adapters, one to feed the LEFT signal to channels 1 and 3, and the right signal to
channels 2 and 4, as shown.
Mono bass woofer wiring:
- Connect the mono speaker positive terminal to the LEFT +, and its negative
terminal to RIGHT -.
Switch setting checklist:
- 1/2CH X-OVER: HP
- 3/4CH X-OVER: LP
Crossover frequency control checklist:
Channels 1/2:
- HI PASS: 100 Hz
- LOW PASS: N/A

2 way active, or bi-amplified system with mono bass, and faded highs/lows
Here we present a variation of the previous system. Since this is a 2 way
system, we can use the front outputs from a head unit to drive the highs, and the
rear output to drive the bass This method allows the listener to easily adjust the
relative levels of bass to highs, with the front to rear fade on the head unit.
Channels 1 and 2 will be used for highs, and channels 3 and 4 for mono bass.
Interconnect cable checklist:
- Use good quality RCA leads to connect the inputs of the amplifier to the source
as shown.
