BRIDGED (MONO) HOOKUP
The ADCOM GFA-555 can be used as an extremely powerful monaural am plifier
without the use of any ad d itional a c c e sso r ie s or m od ifica tion s.
For mono operation, the Stereo/B ridged switch on the rear panel should be
pieced in the bridged p o s itio n . In the Bridged mode only a sin g le input cable is
used. The input cable to the GFA-555 should be plugged in to the RIGHT CHANNEL
input only.
