MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

A3000GTi SPEAKER

CONNECTIONS

Included below are three application diagrams that will help you plan your A3000GTi installation. Figures 10 through 12 show how to configure the JBL A3000GTi amplifier for bridged-mono, parallel-mono and 2-channel operation (also see Setting Up the GTi Amplifier).

NOTE: For simplicity, Figures 10 through 12 do not show power, remote and input connections (see page 5).

OUTPUT LOAD SWITCH

The Output Load switch is used to optimize amplifier performance when driving a full-rangesignal. Set the switch according to the nominal impedance of the load: Use the

4-ohm mode when driving loads with a nominal impedance greater than 2 ohms and the 2-ohm mode when driving loads with a nominal impedance of 2 ohms or less.

Figure 10. The JBL A3000GTi amplifier is set to bridged mode to drive a subwoofer system. Only use this mode when the nominal equivalent or total impedance of the speaker system is 2 ohms or greater.

Figure 11. The JBL A3000GTi amplifier is set to parallel mode to drive a subwoofer system. Only use this mode when the nominal equivalent or total impedance of the speaker system is less than 2 ohms.

NOTE: A jumper is added between the + terminals.

Figure 12. The JBL A3000GTi amplifier is set to stereo mode to drive a pair of full- range speaker systems with nominal equivalent or total impedances of 2 to 4 ohms.
