12. BRIDGE MODE
The NAD C 372 can be used as part of a higher power stereo or home- theatre system, by connecting adding additional power amplifiers. If the power amp section in the NAD C 372 is to be used to drive a single speaker, then use the Bridge switch to run the
In Bridged Mode the NAD C 372 will produce approximately 300W into an 8 ohm loudspeaker. In this mode, the amplifier sections will react as though the speaker impedance has been halved. Low impedance speakers (under 8 ohms) are not recommended when using Bridge Mode, as these may cause the amplifier's thermal
The Bridge LED on the front panel (Fig. 2; No. 2) will illuminate when the amplifier is in Bridge mode.

13. SOFT CLIPPING™
When an amplifier is driven beyond its specified power output, a hard, distorted sound can be heard on very loud sounds. This is caused by the amplifier cutting off or 'hard clipping' the peaks of sound that it was not designed to reproduce. The NAD Soft Clipping™ circuit gently limits the output of the system to minimise audible distortion if the amplifier is overdriven.
If your listening involves moderate power levels you may leave the Soft Clipping™ switch to Off. If you are likely to play at high levels, that could stretch the amplifier's power capability, then switch Soft Clipping On. The Soft Clipping™ indicator on the front panel will illuminate when the amplifier is in Soft Clipping mode.
14. IR IN, OUT
The IR IN/OUT connector is used to pass commands from other units fitted with IR IN/OUT connectors. This allows centralized control of a complete system, and also allows some of the basic functions of other NAD components (such as a tuner, CD player or

15. 12V TRIGGER OUT
This output allows to remotely switch on or off ancillary equipment such as a tuner, power amplifier, etc. which are also equipped with a 12V trigger input. This can also be an AC outlet power strip equipped with a 12V trigger input. The 12V trigger output is activated whenever the unit is switched to normal operational mode from
For switching
NOTES: Check the specifications of the Trigger input terminal on the other components to ensure these are compatible with the C 372's 12V- trigger output. NAD components equipped with 12V input triggers are fully compatible with the C 372's 12V output trigger. The C 372's 12V- trigger output voltage is 12V DC. The total maximum current must not exceed 200mA. Typically, NAD 12V input triggers draw less than 10mA of current.
Before making any connections to any 12V trigger input or output, make sure all components are disconnected from the AC mains.
Failure to observe the above may result in damage to the C 372 or any ancillary components attached to it. If in doubt over the connections, installation and operation of the 12V trigger output consult your NAD dealer.
16. SPEAKERS A + SPEAKERS B
The NAD C 372 is equipped with two sets of speaker connectors. Use the Speakers A connectors for the 'main' speakers and use the Speakers B connectors for a second pair, for example, extension speakers located in another room.
