Important Tips on Bridging an Amplifier/Conseils importants lors de la mise en pont d’un amplificateur/Consejos importantes cuando conecte en puente un amplificador

NOTE:

1)The following problem may occur if the amp is not properly connected.

• Low output when only one input is used.

2)The Y-Adapter is not required if a line output, ste- reo pair is used to drive both inputs of the bridged amp (as shown in Fig. 9).

REMARQUE :

1)Le problème suivant peut apparaître si l’amplificateur n’est pas correctement connecté.

Faible puissance lorsqu’une seule sortie est utilisée.

2)L’adaptateur Y n’est pas nécessaire si une sortie de ligne ou un couple stéréo sont utilisés pour les deux sorties de l’amplificateur ponté (voir la Fig. 9).

NOTA:

1)Podría ocurrir el siguiente problema si el amplificador no se encuentra correctamente conectado.

• Salida baja cuando se utiliza sólo una entrada.

2)El adaptator-Y no es necesario si se utiliza una pareja de salida en línea/estéreo para conducir ambas entradas del amplificador puenteado (tal como se indica en la Fig. 9).
