zero. This mode is useful when, for example, 3 identical loud speakers are to be
operated with the same power.
3.9.4 Mono-Bridge Operation
One-channel mono bridged operation.
The second channel processes the same input signal, but with reversed phase.
The (single) load is connected between the two positive channel outputs using
a suitable connected SPEAKON connector. While the total output of the amplier
remains the same, both the available output voltage and the minimum impedance
that can be connected are doubled, as compared with stereo operation. Only
channel A-Input is active – turn the volume on channel B down to zero.
WARNING !
In Mono-Bidge mode RMS output voltages are as high as 230 V. Wiring
to the speaker loads must conform to NEC Class 3 safety standards or its
equivalent that meets all national and local electric codes.
All customer specic cables may only be manufactured by qualied
suppliers/personnel. All cabeling or rewiring work must be carried out by
qualied personnel.

3.9.5 SPEAKON Connection
Both SPEAKON connectors are connected to channel A and channel B outputs.
The pin conguration of the SPEAKON-connectors is as follows:
Upper SPEAKON: Pin 1+ Channel A signal
Pin 1- Channel A ground
Pin 2+ Channel B signal
Pin 2- Channel B ground
Bottom SPEAKON: Pin 1+ Channel B signal
Pin 1- Channel B ground
Pin 2+ Channel A signal
Pin 2- Channel A ground
