Installation

With paralleled inputs, the signal may be looped through (or “daisy-chained”)

by going in one channel’s inputs and out the other. The amplifier Gain settings will
not affect the level at the input jacks.

Bridged-Mono Mode

1. Locate the selector switch adjacent to the CHANNEL 1 input XLR connector, and

set it to the BRIDGE position (see Figure 6, right side, on page 6).

2. Connect inputs to Ch 1 only. Do not connect anything to Ch 2 inputs.

3. Set Ch 2 Gain on FULL and regulate Gain with Ch 1 Gain only. Both channels

should display the same LEVEL readouts.

4. A single speaker load is used. The positive lead may be connected to Ch 1 red

binding post, and the negative lead to Ch 2 red binding post, but due to the
high voltage present (see caution note) we recommend the use of the fully
insulated Speakon connector. Both wiring options are shown in Figure 7.

Speakon wiring for bridged mono, using the third, or
“stereo” Speakon:

Connect speaker positive to pin 1+.

Connect speaker negative to pin 2+.

BRIDGED-MONO
MODE CAUTION:

Output voltages up to 200
volts rms are available
between the MPA1100’s
bridged terminals (140
volts into an 8 ohm load).
Even on the MPA600, 150
volts rms are available
between the bridged
terminals (103 volts into
an 8 ohm load). Fully
insulated CLASS ONE
wiring must be used, and
the load must be rated up
to 2400 watts (8 ohms)
on the MPA1100, 1500
watts on the MPA750, and
1330 watts (8 ohms) on
the MPA600. While the
MPA400 and MPA275
develop somewhat less
power, precautions should
be observed nonetheless.

VORSICHT BEIM ÜBERBRÜCKTEN MONO-MODUS:

Zwischen den überbrückten Terminals des MPA1100 (140 Volt bei einer Belastung von 8 Ohm) besteht eine Ausgangsspannung mit
einem quadratischen Mittelwert von bis zu 200 Volt. Selbst beim MPA600 besteht eine Ausgangsspannung mit einem quadratischen
Mittelwert von 15j0 Volt zwischen den überbrückten Terminals (103 Volt bei einer Belastung von 8 Ohm). Zu verwenden ist voll
isolierte Verdrahtung der US-Klasse Eins, und die angeschlossene Belastung muß für bis zu 2400 Watt (8 Ohm) beim MPA1100,
1500 Watt beim MPA750 und 1330 Watt (8 Ohm) beim MPA600 ausgelegt sein. Obwohl die Leistung beim MPA400 und MPA275
etwas geringer ist, sind die Sicherheitsvorschriften dennoch einzuhalten.
