This section describes the most common way to install the Macro-Tech 24X6 and 36X12. Each model is designed for biamplified systems and includes both a high-power and a medium- power channel.
Because each channel produces a different power level, the Macro-Tech 24x6 and 36x12 are dedicated to two-channel operation. They do NOT offer mono operation.
WARNING: Never strap the outputs together for Parallel-Mono operation! Never bridge the outputs for Bridge-Mono operation!
Installation of the Macro-Tech 24x6 and 36x12 is very intuitive. The Channel 1 input feeds the Channel 1 output and the Channel 2 input feeds the Channel 2 output. Be sure to connect the output wiring as shown in Figure 2.6.
Five-way binding posts are provided to facilitate easy connection of loudspeakers to each chan- nel. Note: Because of its higher output power, Channel 1 of a Macro-Tech 36x12 has an addi- tional set of binding posts.
Observe correct loudspeaker polarity and be very careful not to short the outputs of one channel to the outputs of the other channel.
NOTE: Crown provides a reference of wiring pin assignments for commonly used connector types in the Crown Amplifier Application Guide available at www.crownaudio.com.
