PARALLEL INPUTS Mode
What it is
The PARALLEL INPUTS switches let you operate the amplifier in a parallel mode, delivering the same signal to both channels without using a Y cable. Each channel drives its own speaker load, with independent gain, filtering, and clip limiting.
Set switch positions 4 and 5 to PARALLEL INPUTS to couple the inputs together (Figure 11). Turn the switches to STEREO for stereo, bi‑amping, or other 2‑channel modes.
In PARALLEL INPUTS mode, you can use the other set of input connectors to carry the signal to other amplifiers (Figure 12). This is often called a daisy‑chain.
When to use it
Use the PARALLEL INPUTS mode when driving two speakers with one input signal. This maintains separate control of gain, filtering, and limiting.
Note:: If you’re using a balanced signal, use only balanced patch cables; even one unbalanced cable will unbalance the entire signal chain, possibly causing hum.
Note:: Turn off the “Parallel Inputs” switches when feeding the amp two separate signals.
