Madrigal Imaging Five Channel Amplifier manual Please read the following carefully

3CONNECT THE SINGLE-ENDED BRIDGING OUTPUT ADAPTER TO TWO SIDE-BY-SIDE BLACK OUTPUT TERMINALS

Connect one end of the Balanced Bridging Output Adapter to a black out- put terminal on one side of the amplifier, and then connect the other end to a black output terminal on the other side of the amplifier. (The two con- nections should be side-by-side rather than one above the other.) Make sure these connection are snug and secure.

4CONNECT YOUR LOUDSPEAKER WIRE ACROSS TWO SIDE-BY-SIDE, RED OUTPUT TERMINALS

Please read the following carefully:

Connect the positive/+/red binding post of your loudspeaker to the red output terminal associated with the red (normal) side of the Input Adapter.

Connect the negative/–/black binding post of your loudspeaker to the red output terminal on the other side of the amplifier, the one associated with the black (inverted) side of the Input Adapter.

Following this connection convention preserves the polarity of the signal sent to the loudspeaker. In practice, the most important thing is to be con- sistent throughout the system, as inconsistency will result in out-of-phase loudspeakers. In turn, this results in unstable imaging and poor bass repro- duction. (The effect is not dangerous, but neither is it subtle.)

5CONNECT ONE OUTPUT CHANNEL OF YOUR PREAMPLIFIER TO THE IN- PUT OF YOUR BRIDGED AMPLIFIER

The female RCA at the junction of the Single-Ended Bridging Input Adapter is now the single input to this bridged amplifier.
