INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Connecting the GND (GROUND) screw terminal Connecting
a mixer or may cause excessive noise or hum
in the output. To prevent this, connect one end
of a shield wire to the amplifier's ground
screw (on rear panel). Then connect the other end of
this wire to the ground terminal on the mixer or preamplifier
enclosure.
PREAMP OR MIXER
Input connections
These amplifiers accept a board range of input sources,
including Compact Disc (CD,DVD) Cassette, Reel·
to· Reel or other tape players; Tuners; Equalizers;
Signal Processors.
Connecting a C D, DVD, tape player or tuner
In a normal installation, one would use the RCA JACKS for
connecting a CD player, DVD player,tape player or tuner.

Stereo or Mono Inputs
Your Pyle Pro amplifier can be operated in Stereo, Mono or
Bridged mode, depending on the input source. If the input
signal is mono, slide the Stereo/Mono/Bridged selector
switch to MONO and the signal will be routed through both
channels. If you wish to run the amplifier in bridged output
mode, slide the switch to Bridged.
connections
can connect 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm speakers to
Channell and/or Channel 2 of the amplifier. If you connect
two pairs of speakers, be sure to follow these guidelines:
•
Speakers which are connected to the same channel are
part of a pair, and must be of the same impedance.
•
Speakers connected to different channels are NOT part
of a pair, and can be of different impedances.
1. Prepare the
wire by removing about 1 inch of
insulation from end of the speaker wire you intend to
connect to the amplifier. Then twist the exposed wire to
secure all the wire strands.
NOTE: Use 16-gauge speaker wire for lengths up to25
feet; 14-gauge wire for lengths over 25 feet. It is
recommended that you use the shortest length of wire
possible.
2. Connect the wires to the speaker's positive and
negative
NOTE: Most speaker terminols are either color-coded
or have a mark that indicates the terminal's
Usually positive terminals are red or have a
(+J, and negative terminols are black or have a minus
symbol (-J.
3. Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's left and
right speaker terminals according to the terminal color
polarity.

Bridged Mode Operation
. This amplifier can operate in a mono bridged output mode, If
your speakers can handle the following power output levels:
