SPEAKER CONNECTIONS (TRI-MODE)

All 2 channel amplifiers are capable of running in a Mono / Stereo mode. This feature gives the amplifier the ability to run stereo satellites (midbass & tweeter) simultaneously with a mono subwoofer.

These connections are more complicated because they require the use of passive crossover networks (Not provided) to divide the frequencies to the speakers. We have included a sample diagram for 4 Ohm connections. If you wish to use multiple speakers to achieve a lower impedance and higher power, it is strongly recommended that you seek professional advice from your Profile retailer before attempting to make these connections.

Please Note: In the Tri-mode configuration, the amplifier’s built-in crossover must be set to

CAUTION! In Tri- mode operation, the amplifier must see a 2 Ohm load or higher for the stereo satellites and no lower than 4 Ohms for the subwoofer(s). Any lower than the above mentioned impedance will cause the amplifier to overheat and possibly cause permanent damage to the amplifier.
