Loudspeaker Connection and Power Output Options

Warning!

Make certain that any output terminal is not connected to a chassis or earth ground.

Connect loudspeakers to the outputs of the eVo amplifier using the 5-way binding posts located on the rear of the amplifier. The red or black center plug in the output post can be removed for use with banana type connectors. Unscrew the binding

post until the center plug comes out. Do not connect speaker terminals to a chassis or earth ground connection. The Anti-Phase operation of the out- puts would result in one of the active outputs being connected to ground and cause the amplifier to go into protection mode and shut itself off. Also when connecting the amplifier in balanced-mode mono operation both terminals are driven actively and can not be grounded.

Balanced Mono Mode Operation

High-power balanced mono operation can be obtained with the simple push of a button. Connect one input cable to any of the 4 input jacks on an eVo2 or input jack sets on an eVo4 or eVo6. Then depress the MONO/STEREO mode button. Connect the loudspeaker to the output terminals indicated for mono-mode operation on the back panel.
