You can wire channels 1/2 and 4/5 in bridged output mode, to
obtain more than twice the power output.
● Switch the BRIDGED MODE switches to the ON position.
● Connect the audio inputs to the BALANCED or
UNBALANCED CHANNEL 1 and CHANNEL 5 inputs, as
appropriate.
● Connect the supplied bridged mode links between the black
(-) CHANNEL 1/2 and CHANNEL 4/5 terminals, as marked on
the back panel.
● Connect the loudspeakers between one pair of the red (+)
CHANNEL 1/2 and CHANNEL 4/5 terminals.
You can bi-wire in bridged mode by using the other pair of red
terminals to connect separately to the loudspeaker treble unit.
