Connections Parallel While the mode selector switch is in the Parallel position the input connectors for both channels are wired directly in parallel (Ch. A input will drive Ch. A & B output). The output volumes can still be controlled individually by adjusting the front dials as in normal operation. -
Page 13: Bridge Mono
Connections Bridge Mono Both amplifi er channels can be bridged together to make a very powerful single channel monaural amplifi er. When the mode switch is set to the “bridge” position the built in power amplifi ers operate in “push-pull” mode. The doubled output voltage from channel A and B appears on the positive (red) terminals on both channels. -
