Typical Applications

The most common use of a PE-Series amplifier is a 2- channel source driving 2 speaker channels. In this illustration, the PE- Series amplifier is receiving a signal and then ‘returns’ it to a second amplifier using the provided connectors. The amplifier is in STEREO mode.

Connectors & Polarity

Because of their efficient and high-power design, PE-Series amplifiers are well suited to single channel output to mono speaker load such as a subwoofer. This illustration shows both PARALLEL and BRIDGED output connections using a single input signal.

PE-Series amplifiers utilize several different professional audio connectors. The Euroblock (and Screw-Terminals on models 800 & 1200) connectors are clearly marked on the amplifier’s rear panel and are straightforward. The connection polarity for the other three types of connectors (XLR, TRS, and Speakon) are less obvious. The diagrams below show how each connector should be wired for proper operation. Be sure to read the Operation section of this manual for important information on the three operating modes.
