2.6.2 How to Parallel the Inputs

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 Phoenix or combo). Connect a jumper wire (Figure 2.9) between the Phoenix Channel-1 (+) screw terminal and the Channel-2 (+) screw termi- nal. Connect another jumper wire between the Channel-1 (–) screw terminal and the Channel-2 (–) screw terminal.

3.Feed your signal to the Channel-1 Phoenix terminals. Using a mic cable or phone-to-phone cable, connect Channel-1 combo jack to Channel-2 combo jack.
