CAUTION! In Tri- mode operation, the amplifier must see a 2 Ohm load or higher for the
stereo satellites and no lower than 4 Ohms for the subwoofer(s). Any lower than the above
mentioned impedance will cause the amplifier to overheat and possibly cause permanent
damage to the amplifier.

The amplifier is capable of running in a Mono / Stereo mode. This feature gives the
amplifier the ability to run stereo satellites (midbass & tweeter) simultaneously with a
mono subwoofer.
These connections are more complicated because they require the use of passive
crossover networks (Not provided) to divide the frequencies to the speakers. We have
included a sample diagram for 4 Ohm connections. If you wish to use multiple speakers
to achieve a lower impedance and higher power, it is strongly recommended that you
seek professional advice from your MDS retailer before attempting to make these
connections.
Please Note: In the Tri-mode configuration, the amplifier’s built-in crossover must be set
to the ”FULL” position so the speakers receive full range output.
