2.4.2 Bridge-Mono Hookup
Bridge-Mono Mode is intended for driving loads with total impedance of 4 ohms
or more (see Section 2.4.3 if the load is less than 4 ohms). Installing the amplifier
in Bridge-Mono Mode is very different from the other modes and requires special
attention.
To activate Bridge-Mono Mode:
1. Turn the amplifier off.
2. Wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Slide the Dual/Mono switch to the right (as you face the back of the
amplifier).
NOTE: Both outputs receive the signal from the Channel 1 input with the
output of Channel 2 inverted so it can be bridged with the Channel 1 output.
AND
NOTE: The Channel 2 input and level controls are disconnected in Bridge
Mono Mode. A signal-feeding Channel 2 will have no effect on the output.
4. Connect the load across the Channel 1 and 2 positive (+) terminals.
5. Attach the positive lead from the load to Channel 1.
6. Attach the negative lead from the load to Channel 2.
The negative (-) terminals are NOT used and should NOT be shorted. In addition,
the connected load must be floating referenced to ground.
