which will cause short circuits and may damage both the
unit and the speakers.
f) When using the unit as the mono power amplifier
(bridged connection): make sure the BRIDGED switch is
set correctly at the MONO position. Connect only one
speaker as marked on the back panel of the unit. Connect
the " + " speaker lead wire to the LEFT " + " terminal post
and the
speaker
lead
wire
to
the
RIGHT " + " terminal
post. Do not use any
speaker with a com¬
mon grounding sys¬
tem;
consult
your
dealer when in doubt.
2. Connecting Preamplifier
a) It is recommended to use the Rotel's RC-960BX
preamplifier which is perfectly tuned to match with the
power amplifier in sound quality and operation.
b) See the illustrations for 3 modes of the connections
possible:
1) The common stereo mode using one preamplifier and
one power amplifier.
2) The "BRIDGED" stereo mode using one preamplfier
and two mono power amplifiers.
3) The "BI-AMPING" mode with one preamplifier, which
has two sets of outputs connected in parallel, like the
RC-960BX, and two stereo power amplifiers, one driving
the tweeters and the other driving the woofers of the
speakers, which have separate connectors for the tweeters
and the woofers.
