AMP 200 Specifications, Limited Warranty

NOTE: Only one pair of channels can be bridged together. Do not attempt to bridge both A & B

speaker terminals, as this may result in a lower impedance than the amplifier is designed to accommodate, and may damage your amplifier. The minimum impedance for the total load connected to a pair of channels in the bridged mode is 8-ohm.

NOTE: This amplifier is capable of use with standard US voltage (115VAC) as well as European voltage

(230VAC). The amplifier will be preset for the voltage of the country it is sold in. Use with other voltages requires some changes to be made to the amplifier. Should you wish to use the amplifier in a country other than the one for which it was purchased, please contact Phoenix Gold Home Products support at 1-800-435-7115.

Applications

Powering Speakers Outdoors

Whenever you are using loudspeakers outdoors, you should be aware that sound does not travel like it

would in your home. Without the reflective surfaces of walls and ceilings, sound outdoors will dissipate quickly. Therefore, in an outdoor situation the AMP200 provides the opportunity to bridge adjacent channels, effectively doubling the available power for your speakers. This can help to overcome the problem of using speakers outdoors assuming the speakers chosen are capable of handling the additional power.

It should be noted that the AMP200 is rated to operate into a minimum 8-ohm bridged load.

Therefore, if you are using more than a single 8-ohm loudspeaker in bridged mode you should consider using an impedance matching speaker selector, such as the Innovative Home ASM4, ASM6 or ASM8 or possibly using an impedance matching volume control, such as the Innovative Home VMT1 in a weatherproof housing available at your favorite DIY store or electrical supply. The choice of a volume control would allow you the additional flexibility of being able to attenuate the volume whenever necessary.
