3.6.5“Y” Mono Input to Dual Outputs

If you want to feed a mono audio signal to two channels, each with its own level control, set the “Y” Input switch ON. This connects both inputs in parallel. You might use this setup if you’re running a monitor speaker on one chan- nel and a main speakers stack on the other channel, and you want to feed them the same signal.

See Figure 3.10.

INPUTS: Connect input wiring to one channel.

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

Connect Channel 1 positive (+) speaker load to Channel 1 positive terminal of amp; repeat for negative (-). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for Channel 1.

3.6.6“Y” Mono Input to Bridge- Mono Output

If you want daisy-chained inputs fed to a dou- ble-voltage output, set the Bridge Output switch ON and the “Y” Input switch ON.

See Figure 3.11.

For example, connect the input signal to the CH-1 XLR connector and use the CH-2 XLR connector plus the two 1/4-inch phone jacks for daisy-chained outputs that feed other power amplifiers.

NOTE: Crown provides a reference of wiring pin assignments for commonly used connector types in the Crown Amplifier Application Guide available on the web at www.crownaudio.com.
