Bridging Two Cad11 - DLS CAD11 Owner's Manual

Bridging two CAD11

Connecting two CAD11 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 CAD11:
4 ohm load: 1500 watts
2 ohm load: 2000 Watts
1 ohm load: Do not use!!!

Connection of DC-input (to both amplifiers) and Remote sub level
control (to Master amplifier).

connection
You can connect two CAD11 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.
