Appendix - Bridging The

Architect

Appendix

Caution - When bridging the Architect, the

minimum speaker load impedance on that

bridged output is 4 ohms. In a bridged system,

each channel of the bridged pair “sees” one half

of the speaker load. This means that a bridged

amp driving a 4 ohm speaker is operating into a 2

ohm load.

To increase the output power of the Architect, you can join

(bridge) the two channels of the Architect into a single channel of

400 watts. Accomplishing this is a simple matter. Just connect the

audio input to both channels of the amp using a ‘Y’ cord adapter

and then connect the speaker terminals as shown in the diagram

below.
