The “Summed Center Channel” methods outlined below do not create a true center channel, they simply sum left and right signals to the center speaker system. This is not as desirable as a true center channel from a multi- channel source, but it can be used to create a convincing sound stage in some applications.

B)“Summed Center Channel”, No User Adjustability

Required: a basic source unit or processor with left and right stereo outputs.

Input Connections: a single pair of stereo source unit outputs, connected to the CH 1&2

Bi-Amplified 5.1 System with Multi-Channel Source, one 450/4v2 in three-channel mode, a JL Audio 300/2 amplifier driving rear surround speakers and a separate subwoofer amplifier

(JL Audio 500/1v2 or 1000/1v2 recommended)

This configuration is identical to the 3.1 system configuration with Input Option A, except for the addition of a JL Audio 300/2v2 two-channel amplifier to drive rear surround speakers, effectively creating a true 5.1 multi-channel system with left-front, center-front, right-front, left-rear and left-right channels.

The 300/2v2 in two-channel stereo mode is perfectly matched to the 450/4v2 in three channel Left, Center, Right mode. The system will deliver 150 W x 5 to power the component speaker systems plus the output of an additional amplifier to the subwoofer system.

To add this capability, connect the 300/2v2’s inputs to the rear (surround) outputs of a multi- channel processor or source unit and set the
