STEREO mode (separate left and right inputs, separate left and right outputs) is the typical setup for amplifying stereo signals.

MONO mode (sometimes called Dual- Mono — one or two inputs, two mono outputs) is for sending a mono signal to two different speaker sets, with separately-adjustable GAIN controls.

BRIDGED mode (sometimes called Bridged-Mono — one or two inputs, one mono output) uses both sides of the amp to send great power to one speaker.

BRIDGED

In STEREO mode, the M•2600 Power Amplifier can deliver 1300 watts per side into 2 ohms. If that’s not enough, you can use two M•2600’s, each in BRIDGED mode, and deliver 2600 watts per amplifier into 4 ohms. Or, you can use one amp in BRIDGED mode to power a monaural system. Finally, BRIDGED mode is also popular for subwoofer applications — but please see LOW OUT (SUBWOOFER) on page 28 for a special subwoofer surprise.

To use all the M•2600’s power to drive one speaker using BRIDGED mode:

1.Turn off the power to the M•2600.

2.Set the AMP MODE switch to BRIDGED.

3.The BRIDGED mode requires the speaker to be wired as follows :

Connect the positive side of the speaker cable to the Channel 1 red (+) binding post. Connect the negative side of the speaker cable to the Channel 2 red (+) binding post.

4.Instead of the binding posts, you could use the MONO BRIDGE Speakon connector. Pin 1+ connects to your speaker red post (positive +).

Pin 1– connects to your speaker black post (negative –).

5.In MONO or BRIDGED mode, you can use either Channel 1 input, or Channel 2, or both. If both inputs are used, the inputs are summed.

Once again: Before making connections to an amp or reconfiguring an amp’s routing, turn the power off, make the changes, then turn the power back on.

In BRIDGED mode, both

connections to your

speaker are live; that is,

neither is grounded

through the chassis. Take great care to read and follow all of the safety instructions. The amplifier

is capable of up to 116 VAC across the speaker terminals, potentially LETHAL!
