The output terminals of the two channels are configured in parallel using an in- ternal relay.The (single) load is connected either to the output of channel A or to that of channel B (as if in stereo). While the total output of the amplifier remains the same and the output voltage level is also the same as in stereo operation, the minimum impedance that can be connected is reduced by half due to the fact that current capability is doubled. Only channel A-Input is active. The chan- nel B-Input is inactive – turn the volume of channel B down to zero.

This mode is useful when, for example, 3 identical loudspeakers are to be ­operated with the same power.

USER MANUAL

TECTON POWER AMP SERIES

The second channel processes the same input signal, but with reversed phase. The (single) load is connected between the two positive channel outputs using a suitable connected SPEAKON connector. While the total output of the ampli- fier remains the same, both the available output voltage and the minimum impedance that can be connected are doubled, as compared with stereo ope­ ration. Only channel A-Input is active. A signal feeding channel B will have no effect on the output.Turn the volume of channel B down to zero.

WARNING !

In Mono-Bridge mode RMS output voltages are as high as 230 V. Wiring to the speaker loads must conform to NEC Class 3 safety standards or its equi- valent that meets all national and local electric codes.

All customer specific cables may only be manufactured by qualified suppliers/personnel. All cabling or rewiring work must be carried out by qualified personnel.

*Zmin = 2 Ω for TECTON 28.2, 22.2 and 14.2

*Zmin = 4 Ω for TECTON 38.4, 32.4 and 24.4
