NOTES ON MULTIPLE AMPLIFIERS AND SPEAKER PHASE

MONOBRIDGING MULTIPLE PAIRS OF AMPLIFIERS

The phase of each monobridged speaker per amplifier pair is the same. See the diagram on the right.

2 OR MORE AMPLIFIERS WITH SEPARATE SPEAKERS ON EACH

Please note that for this type of setup, the speaker phase on every alternate amplfier MUST be reversed in order to keep the acoustical phase of all speakers in the system in phase with each other. See the diagram below.

AMPLIFIER MODE SWITCH, INPUTS AND REMOTE CONTROL

The first, or master amplifier switch in these arrangements will of course act as the master in all respects. It will accept the input from the source via RCA cables, and its level control, crossover and filters, as well as remote control, if connected, will control all slaves. Do not forget to set the amplifier Mode switches as indicated on all diagrams.
