Operating Pr ecautions Make sure the mains voltage is correct and is the same as that printed on the rear of the amplifier. Damage caused by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. Note: Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier from mains voltage before making audio connections. Also, as an extra precaution, turn down the attenuators before powering up. It is always a good idea to have the gain controls turned down while powering up to prevent

GND input - input + input Bridg ed Mode A pair of amplifier channels may be bridged together to make a single output with a power rating equal to the sum of both channel power ratings at twice the load rating of a single channel. In other words‚ bridging two amplifiers rated for 160 Watts into 4 Ohms will produce 320 Watts into 8 Ohms. In Bridged Mode‚ the channels operate at opposite polarity from each other so that one channel pushes and the other pulls equally. This mode sends the inp

Outputs in Bridg ed Mode The loudspeaker load is connected only to the designated positive (+) output terminals of the bridged channels. NEVER ground either side of the loudspeaker load cable when the amplifier is in Bridged Mode as both sides are “hot.” If an output patch panel is used‚ all connections must be isolated from each other and from the panel. When using the low-Z output‚ the minimum nominal load impedance in Bridged Mode is 8 Ohms; this is equivalent to driving both bridged
