Bridging The Architect
To increase the output power of the Architect amplier you can
join (bridge) two channels into a single channel of 250 watts.
Accomplishing this is a simple matter. Just press the Mono
button to send the same audio signal to both channels of the
zone and then connect the speaker terminals as shown in the
diagram below.
Caution - Do not use a
speaker rated at less than
8 ohms when bridging.
In a bridged system,
each channel of the
bridged pair “sees”
one half of the speaker load.
This means that a bridged amp
driving an 8 ohm speaker is actually
operating into a 4 ohm load.

Congratulations! You’re done with the audio hook up. Now for
