MONO/BRIDGED MONO
The REFERENCE Class A amplifiers have the ability to operate in any one of
the following modes:
COhWefIf
sfWeOrM
with identical left and right stereo channels for
maximum fidelity. Best choice for satellite speakers. Use this mode unless
Mixed-Mono is necessary.
MiXed-MOfIO
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 left channel is inverted, see
diagram below or on the bottom of the amplifier,
Bridged
MOflO
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.
MIXED MONO
