Bridged-Mono Operation
Figure 3: Bridged-Mono operation of the MOON 860A Dual-Mono Amplifier
If wish to operate the MOON 860A Dual-Mono
Power Amplifier as a monoblock amplifier, it can be
converted to bridged mode without any complex
modifications. Only a Simaudio XLR-BRIDGE Y-cable
is required. This custom cable will allow one input
signal to be sent to both channels of the amplifier’s
inputs, as pictured above in Figure 3. One lead from
the “Y” adapter must plug into right channel input
and the other lead must plug into left channel input.
As well, you must use the positive terminal of each
output binding post (exactly as in figure 3) for the
loudspeaker connection. If you are unsure about
how to accomplish a bridged-mono mode of
operation, don’t hesitate to contact your
Authorized MOON dealer.
The MOON 860A produces 800 watts of output
power at 8 ohms for a single channel when
operating in bridged-mono mode.
