Typical input and output wiring is shown in Figure 2.7.

INPUTS: Connect input wiring for both channels.

OUTPUTS: Maintain proper polarity (+/–) on output connectors.

Connect Channel-1 loudspeaker’s positive (+) lead to Channel-1 positive (red) terminal of amp; repeat for negative (–). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for Channel 1.

How to Parallel the Inputs in Stereo Mode

There are three ways to feed the same signal to each amplifier channel:

1.Buy a "Y" cable. Plug the female end into your signal cable, and plug the split male ends into both amplifier inputs.

2.Feed your signal to the Channel-1 input (either barrier-block or Combo). Connect a jumper wire (Figure 2.8) between the barrier- block Channel-1 (+) screw terminal and the Channel-2 (+) screw terminal. Connect another jumper wire between the Channel-1 (–) screw terminal and the Channel-2 (–) screw terminal.

3.Feed your signal to the Channel-1 input screw terminals. Using a mic cable or phone-to-phone cable, connect Channel-1 Combo jack to Chan- nel-2 Combo jack.
