Bridged Dual Mono Connection

This diagram shows two BPA-1 amplifiers connected to 2 full range speakers, each in a bridged con- figuration. The crossover switch is in the FLAT position. The RCA inputs are split so that each chan- nel is fed into the LEFT RCA input at the amplifier. The LEFT input is the mono input for the bridged configuration. The speakers should be no less than 8 Ohms. This configuration allows the greatest channel separation and increases the individual power for each speaker.

This connection diagram shows a typical use of two BPA-1’s in a “dual mono” stereo configuration with each one driving a single full range speaker. This setup is ideal for a maximizing power to a speaker that requires 150 watts instead of 75 watts. You would gain roughly 3dB in output over a single amplifier configuration using this method.

This configuration delivers 150 watts into each 8 Ohm speaker. You MUST use a speaker with a minimum of 8 Ohms nominal impedance for the bridged configuration!

Daisy Chained BPA-1 Amplifiers

This diagram shows two BPA-1 amplifiers in a “Daisy Chain” configuration. Using the LINE OUT RCA jacks, you can pass signal through the BPA-1 on to other BPA-1 amplifiers. Based on how you want the amplifiers after the first one configured, you can select stereo or mono operation. It’s advised to use the stereo amplifiers first in the signal chain and then break off to the mono configurations when using multiple BPA-1 amplifiers.

This connection diagram shows

a typical use of two BPA-1’s

running an entire full bandwidth,

multi-speaker system. This

setup is ideal for a using small “book shelf” style main speakers and a separate discrete subwoofer to reinforce the low frequency content.

This configuration delivers 75 watts into each 4 Ohm stereo speaker (on the left). You can also use

8 Ohm speakers in this

configuration.

This configuration also

delivers 150 watts the 8 Ohm subwoofer. You MUST use a speaker with a minimum of 8 Ohms nominal impedance for the bridged configuration!
