Two 558 Multi Channel Power Amplifiers can be used as the
basis of a superb seven-channel surround system, taking
advantage of bridged mode operation to give more than twice
the power output for the three front channels.
●
Switch channels 1/2 and 4/5 of the first 558 to bridged mode,
and use these for the main left and right loudspeakers.
●
Switch channels 1/2 of the second 558 to bridged mode, and
use these for the centre loudspeaker.
●
Use the remaining channels for the side and rear
loudspeakers, as shown in the diagram.
