3.6.5 Stereo Operation

Two fully independent amplifier channels (normal operating mode).

WARNING!

RMS output voltages as high as 230 V are available at the output.

Wiring to the speaker loads must conform to NEC Class 3 safety standards.

The output terminals of the two channels are configured in parallel using an internal relay. The (single) load is connected either to the output of channel 1 or to that of channel 2 (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. This mode is useful when powering 3 speaker cabinets in parallel. A load

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 oper- ation. Only Channel A-Input is active. A signal feeding Channel B will have no effect on the output.

balancing is achieved in this case.

NOTE: For parallel mono operation, to prevent damage of one SPEAKON connector and to reduce loss of power because of contact or cable resistance, it is highly recommended to wire speaker loads using both 2 channel SPEAKON connectors with all contacts connected.
