8MODE SWITCH

Mode

Stereo Bridged

Figure 6. Mode Select Switch

To the right of the Master Level controls is a switch labeled “Mode” with “Stereo” and “Bridged” as options. If you will be connecting one or two pair of speakers to the ampliﬁer, place the switch in the “Stereo” position.

NOTE: If you are using the AMP102/110 in stereo mode, with 2 sets of speakers (A and B), make sure each speaker has an impedance of 8 ohms or greater.

When used in “Bridged” mode, the ampliﬁer is a single channel Mono ampliﬁer.

If you will be using a pair of channels to power a single mono speaker, place the switch in the “Bridged” position, and be sure to read the section titled “Speaker Terminals” below.

While the amplifier operates in bridged mode you are required to have the Left input connected to the ampliﬁeronly. The ampliﬁer will use this signal to create your Mono source.

NOTE: The AMP102 supplies 150W in bridged mode, while the AMP110 supplies 250W in bridged mode. Please verify that your speakers are capable of handling such power to avoid possible damage!

12 & 13 SPEAKER TERMINALS

Terminals are provided for “A” and “B” pairs of speakers for each channel. If you will be using the ampliﬁer as a stereo ampliﬁer (i.e. not a bridged ampliﬁer), connect the speaker’s positive (red) terminal to the ampliﬁer’s positive (red) terminal, and the speaker’s negative (black) terminal to the ampliﬁer’s negative (black) terminal (immediately beside the positive terminal).

NOTE: Use the appropriate gauge speaker wire when connecting speakers to the AMP102/110.

If using one pair of channels bridged, place the “Mode” switch in the “Bridged” position and use both RED terminals to connect to the speaker.

When in “Bridged” mode make sure to connect the speaker’s negative (black) terminal to the ampliﬁer’s positive (red) terminal of the left channel and the speaker’s positive (red) terminal to the ampliﬁer’s positive (red) terminal of the right channel.

Figure 7. Light Bar Display Control

This switch controls the lighted bars on the front of the amplifier. These bars light red when the amplifier is in operation. If the amplifier is visible and a low light setting is desired use this switch to turn off the light bars. The signal/clip LED indicators on the front panel as well as the power button lighted ring are not affected by this control.

Figure 8. Speaker Terminals

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 ohms.

14 & 15	MAINS POWER INLET/FUSE/
	VOLTAGE SELECTOR

Power inlet accepts the IEC type line cord supplied with the ampliﬁer. A fuse in the integrated holder provides safety protection from fault conditions: replace fuse with one of same type and rating only.

This ampliﬁer is conﬁgured for operation at 115V. (North America)

The AMP102/110 can be conﬁgured for operation from either 115V ~60Hz or 230V ~50Hz AC mains. Installed mains fuse must be of type and rating marked on ampliﬁer corresponding to conﬁgured AC mains voltage.

Should you wish to conﬁgure the AMP102/110 for use at 230V ~50Hz please contact your dealer or distributor.
