MODE

CONFIGURATIONS

The inputs are configurable for three modes of operation and the outputs for two modes of operation.

Input Modes

The channel inputs can be connected in three different ways to achieve the following modes of operation.

Dual-Dual Mono Mode

For Dual-Dual Mono operation‚ connect the inputs as shown below. In this mode‚ all four channels operate independently of each other with their input attenuators controlling each respective input level. As a result‚ a signal at the input of Channel A produces an amplified signal at the output of Channel A. Likewise‚ a signal at the input of Channel B produces an amplified signal at the output of Channel B‚ and so on. The loudspeaker load is connected to the amplifier output terminals matching the positive loudspeaker connection with the positive output terminal. Furthermore‚ the negative loudspeaker connection is matched with the negative output terminal. See OUTPUT MODES below.

Parallel Mode

The figure below shows an example of parallel input connections. This mode sends the same signal to each of the connected input channels without using a Y-cable. For example‚ connect the input signal to Channel A input connector. Then‚ connect jumper wires from the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the Channel A input connectors to the respective input terminals of Channel B. Both channels then share the Channel A input signal but will operate independently. The loudspeaker loads are connected as in the Dual-Dual Mono mode. See OUTPUT MODES below.

Any combination of parallel inputs may be configured in this mode‚ however‚ be aware of the output mode settings.
