Bridged operation configures the Left and Right channels to function as a single higher powered amplifier channel to drive a single speaker. This is how two Model 2250 v.2 amps are used as monoblocks to power a pair of speakers. It’s also effective for powering a single passive subwoofer.
Careful attention must be paid to the total impedance of all speakers wired to the unit when it is set for bridged mono operation. When set to mono the Model 2250 v.2 uses its R channel to amplify only the positive half of the audio signal and its L channel to amplify only the negative half of the audio signal.
If you connected your preamp to the 2250 v.2’s L channel Input jack to then you’ll need a short RCA cable to connect the 2250 v.2’s L channel Loop Out jack to its R channel Input jack.
12V Position (Automatic on/off) When the Turn On Options switch is set to its 12V position, the Model 2250 v.2 is turned on and off only with an external +9 V to +12 V voltage from your preamp or AV Receiver. When the external voltage ceases the Model 2250 v.2 will turn off within a few seconds.
Some other Parasound power amplifiers and preamplifiers might have 2.5mm ―sub-mini‖ trigger jacks. To use the Model 2250 v.2 with products that use a 2.5mm jack we have included a trigger wire with a 3.5mm plug at one end and a 2.5mm plug at the other end.
Power Button Press the Power button once to turn the Model 2250 v.2 on. Press it again to turn it off. When the unit is powered on the L and R indicators should illuminate green. The Power button is inoperative when the Turn On Options switch is set to Audio or 12V.
On Option switch to the ―Quieter‖ position. • If using Audio Turn on and you need the Model 2250 v.2 to turn on at an even lower volume level, simply turn down its L and R Level controls. Try setting the level controls at 12 o’clock and see if the volume level is low enough when the amp turns on.
