Stereo, bi-amp, 2 channel mode

Parallel input mode

FEATURES & SETUP

What are the differences among Stereo, Parallel Input, and Bridge Mono modes?

STEREO MODE

This is the "normal" way of using the amplifier, in which each channel is fully independent. Separate signals connect at the inputs, the gain knobs control their respective channels, and separate speakers connect to each output.

Examples:

Two-channel (stereo) or multi- channel playback.

Bi-amp operation, with the low frequencies in one channel and the highs in the other.

PARALLEL INPUT MODE

This mode is just like Stereo mode, except that the inputs for Channels 1 and 2 are internally connected together. A signal into any input jack will therefore drive both channels directly. Each channel's gain control and filter still functions independantly, and each channel feeds its own speaker load.

You can patch the input signal on to additional amplifiers by using any of the remaining input jacks.

Example:

One program signal driving both channels, with independent gain control for each speaker system.

CARACTÉRISTIQUES ET LEUR UTILISATION

Modes stéréo, parallèle et ponté, quelles sont les différences?

MODE STÉRÉO

C'est la façon "normale" d'utiliser

l'amplificateur, où les des canaux sont

distincts. Des signaux différents peuvent

se trouver aux deux entrées, des

ajustements de gain, de filtre et de

limiteur sont possibles, et des haut-

parleurs distincts sont branchés aux

deux sorties.

Exemples:

Réécoute deux canaux (stéréo) ou canaux multiples

Utilisation en mode bi-amplifié, avec les basses fréquences amplifiées par le canal 1 et les hautes par le canal 2 . (recquiert l'utilisation d'un séparateur de fréquences électronique vendu séparément)

MODE PARALLÈLE

Similaire au mode stéréo, sauf que les entrées des canaux 1 et 2 sont reliées à l'intérieur. Un signal amené

àl'une ou l'autre des entrées sera donc amplifié par la paire de canaux. Les contrôles de gain individuels fonctionnent comme d'habitude, et chaque canal alimente sa sortie de haut-parleur.

Vous pouvez envoyer le signal vers un autre amplificateur en vous servant de la seconde entrée comme sortie.

Exemple:

Un seul signal d'ambiophonie (surround) alimente les deux canaux, avec contrôles de gain et filtres indépendants pour chaque systeme de haut-parleurs.

AUSSTATTUNG & E I N S T E L L U N G E N

Unterschiede zwischen Stereo-, Parallel- und Monobrücken-Betrieb

STEREOBETRIEB

Das ist die normale Betriebsart. Jeder

Kanal arbeitet unabhängig. Separate

Eingangssignalverbindungen, die

Verstärkungsregler werden für ihren

jeweiligen Kanal benutzt und separate

Lautsprecher werden an den Ausgangs-

verbindungen angeschlossen.

Beispiele:

Zwei-Kanal- oder Stereo-, oder Mehrkanal-Wiedergabe.

Bi-Amp Betrieb: Tieffrequenter Lautsprecher an Kanal 1, hochfrequenter Lautsprecher an Kanal 2.

PARALLELBETRIEB

Wie Stereomodus, außer daß die Eingänge von Kanal 1 und 2 intern zusammengeschaltet sind. Ein Signal in einen der Eingangsbuchsen wird daher auf beide Kanäle gleichförmig gegeben. Jeder der beiden Verstärkerregler reagiert nach wie vor separat und jeder Kanal liefert separat Leistung an die Lautsprecher.

Sie können das Eingangssignal an weitere Verstärker weiterschleifen, indem Sie einen der noch verfügbar freien Eingangsbuchsen hierzu benutzen.

Beispiel:

Ein Surround-Kanal-Signal geht auf beide Kanäle, mit unabhängigen Verstärkungsreglern für jedes Lautsprechersystem.

CARACTERÍSTICAS Y A J U S T E S

¿Cuáles son las diferen- cias entre los modos Estéreo, Entradas Paralelas y Puenteado en Mono?

MODO ESTÉREO

Esta es la manera "normal" de usar el amplificador, donde cada canal funciona independientemente. Con señales separadas conectadas a las entradas, botones de ganancia que controlan su respectivo canal y bocinas separadas conectadas a cada salida.

Ejemplos:

Reproducción multicanal o de dos canales (estéreo)

Operación bi-amplificada, con las frecuencias graves por el canal 1 y las frecuencias agudas por el canal 2 .

MODO DE ENTRADAS PARALELAS

Este modo es como el modo estéreo, excepto por las entradas del canal 1 y 2 están unidas internamente. Una señal conectada a cualquiera de las entradas alimentará a ambos canales directamente. Los controles de ganancia de cada canal funcionarán de una manera normal, y cada canal lleva su propia carga para la bocina.

Usted puede conectar la señal de entrada a otros amplificadores, usando el conector que queda libre.

Ejemplo:

Señal de canal surround alimentando a los dos canales con controles de ganancia independientes para cada sistema de bocinas.
