The following chart shows examples of the types of loads possible and the mode required:

Intended Loudspeaker Load Number of Affected Channels Power Rating Max Channels Output Mode

2 to 16 Ohms 1500 W @ 4Ω8Mono

4 to 8 Ohms 21000 W @ 8Ω4V-Bridge (Low-Z)

70-V “constant voltage” lines 2800 W @ 70V 4V-Bridge (70V)

100-V “constant voltage” lines 21000 W @ 100V 4V-Bridge (100V)

2 Ohms requiring high current 21000 W @ 2Ω4I-Share (Low-Z)

4 Ohms requiring high power 42000 W @ 4Ω2Quad (Low-Z)

70-V “constant voltage” lines 41600 W @ 70V 2Quad (70V)

100-V “constant voltage” lines 42000 W @ 70V 2Quad (100V)

Note: Conﬁgure the output mode of the ampliﬁer before connecting loudspeakers. See page 24 for details on front panel conﬁguration.

Carefully follow the proper connection method for the selected output conﬁguration.

The wiring of the connector varies by ampliﬁer output conﬁguration. The output pin assignments for Mono (single channel) and V-bridge

conﬁgurations are printed on the rear panel of the ampliﬁer. The following graphics illustrate wiring examples for the different output

conﬁguration modes.
