GTA 5350
nel must also be connected to the left-hand
loudspeaker and the right-hand amplifier
channel to the right-hand loudspeaker.
Bridged loudspeaker connections
The GTA can also be bridged in a mono con-
figuration. This enables you to use the am-
plifier for one or more subwoofer(s) or a mid-
range speaker. In this configuration the am-
plifier sums the right-hand and left-hand
channels, delivering a single channel (mono)
output.
Note:
The amplifier can sum the right- and left-hand
signal information only if both the right- and
left-hand RCA connections have been made.
CAUTION:
The amplifier must be presented with a
load of 4 Ohms or higher in bridged
mode. A lower load will cause the ampli-
fier to overheat or switch off. This can
lead to permanent damage of the unit.
INPUT - SUB SELECTOR-MODE
CH 1+2, CH 3+4: To operate the GTA 5350
amplifier in 4-channel mode (stereo front /
rear). In this case, all 4 inputs must be con-
nected to the source device (car radio).
CH 1+2: To operate the GTA 5350 amplifier
in 4-channel mode (stereo) with 2 input sig-
nals. In this case, CH1 and CH2 must be
used. The usual Y-cable is not needed with
this configuration.
Adjustment of the type and range
of the cross-over frequencies
The type of crossover (i.e. “low-pass” or “hi-
pass”) and the desired crossover frequency
can be selected on the GTA 5350. If, for ex-
ample, you wish to drive a pair of subwoof-
ers, connect in accordance with the low-pass
diagram (fig. 2a).The crossover frequency
is dependent upon the loudspeaker frequen-
cy range (consult the loudspeaker manufac-
turer’s data for the recommended frequen-
cy range).
“High- Pass” frequency control
This control is active when the switch is in
the “Hi-pass” position, and permits selection
of the desired crossover frequency. Exam-
ple: at a of 40 Hz, the loudspeaker has a
frequency range of 40 Hz to 30.000 Hz.
“Low-pass” frequency control
This control is active when the switch is set
to “Low-pass” and permits selection of the
desired crossover frequency. Example: at a
setting of 150 Hz, the loudspeaker has a fre-
quency range of 10 Hz to 150 Hz.
Operating indicator
(POWER / PROTECT)
Green lamp: Power amp on, regular operat-
ing condition
Red lamp: Power amp has been switched
off electronically, due to a fault or failure.
