Carver CV Series user manual

output of the CV2502 to create a Mono 70V output at 500 Watts. Connect the positive (+) lead from the distributed load to the 35V connector on Channel 2, and connect the negative (-) lead from the distributed load to the 35V connector of Channel 1. Be sure that the sum of the output to each of the speakers on the distributed load is less than 500 watts. (See Figure 8) It is also necessary to connect the commons together when bridging a distributed load.

Caution: A 4 ohm mono load should not be connected to the CV Series amplifier in the bridged mode, but you can use the parallel mono configuration with a 4 ohm load.

The table below lists the recommended “Bridged Mono” connections for a CV Series Dual Channel amplifier using Class 2 Wiring. The user should note that it is possible to bridge the 70 V and 100V terminals, however Class 1 Wiring should be observed. All outputs will be 500 watts on the example amplifier CV2502. (See Table 2 below)
