each other. The A channel handles the positive voltage
swing and the B channel becomes the negative, thus
doubling the output voltage swing. Via the “bridge
output” speaker connector, the speaker is now
connected across the two channels.
Power is proportional to the square of the voltage
swing, so four times the output power is possible. The
reality is that this would exceed the capability of the
output stage but a considerable increase in output will
result all the same.
C
aution : In this mode output voltages are high
enough to constitute a shock hazard.
Wiring will need to conform to CLASS 1 wiring
standards. Check your local electrical codes for the
appropriate electrical standards.
Output is via the middle Speakon connector. The
output signal is across pins number 1+,1-.

The minimum load impedance in bridge mono
mode is 8Ω
