EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500
Applications 8
Examples:
2-channel (stereo) playback =
Two independent mono signals, e.g. instrument signal and =
monitor mix
Bi-amp operation, whereby bass frequencies are run on
=
channel 1, and high frequencies on channel 2 (see chapter
3.2 “Bi-amping”).
2-channel mode Fig. 3.1:
DIP switch positions for 2-channel operation Fig. 3.2:
Parallel mode is identical to 2-channel mode, except for the inputs
of both channels are internally connected in parallel. One input
signal routes parallel both channels, while their filters etc. are
independently controlled.
Examples:
A mono signal is fed into both channels, whereby amplification =
of each channel is controlled separately.
Parallel mode (as described above) with connection of an
=
additional amp via the remaining free input connector. The
input signal is present there and may be connected to further
equipment.
When connecting a balanced input signal, please make +
sure to exclusively use balanced cables for passing the
signal further on. Otherwise, a single unbalanced cable
can turn the entire signal unbalanced.
Parallel operation Fig. 3.3:
DIP switch positions for parallel operation Fig. 3.4:
When running in mono-bridged mode, the voltage of both channels
is added up and fed into a single loudspeaker system. There is
one input and one output signal respectively, and only the controls
of channel 1 (and not of channel 2) are used.
However, should the DIP switches 4 and 5 still be in +
PARALLEL INPUTS position while in mono-bridged
mode, the signal on the free input (input channel 2) can
be forwarded to an additional amp.
