COHERENT STEREO=?MIXED-
MONO/BRIDGED MONO
The REFERENCE amplifiers have the ability to operate in any one of the
following modes:
Coherent
SfefeorM
with identical left and right stereo channels for
maximum fidelity. Best choice for satellite speakers. Use this mode unless
Mixed-Mono is necessary.
MiXed-MOB0
in order to drive, stereo and mono simultaneously; works well
for center channels. It can be used anytime you need a summed mono channel.
Somewhat sacrifices sonic accuracy as additional circuitry is introduced to one
channel. In Mixed-Mono, the
leff
channel is inverted, see diagram below or
on the bottom of the amplifier.
Bridged
Mono
for dedicated single channel operation; ideal for driving
subwoofers. It is also used when large amounts of power are necessary for
single speakers.
In bridged mono, only the right channel input Is active.

you can put the switch in Mixed-Mono but
