Viper 1100.5 manual Combined Amplifiers, Parallel Synced Gain, External Synced Bridged

COMBINED AMPLIFIERS

The Viper 1100.5 channel five subwoofer section can be combined with a d600.1 in a master/slave combination for increased power and accurate level matching. They are the Parallel Synced Gain and External Synced Bridged combi- nations.

NOTE:	The Viper 1100.5 is always the master amplifier in
	these combinations.

Parallel Synced Gain

The Parallel Synced Gain combination includes a master amplifier (1100.5) and a slave amplifier (d600.1).

In this master/slave combination the master amplifier’s pre-amp controls remain active and the slave amplifier’s pre-amp is bypassed. This allows the master amplifier to control gain, filter, and sub-level on both amplifiers.

The Parallel Synced Gain combination allows the amplifiers to drive their own separate subwoofer(s) while being synced together via an in-phase audio pre-amp signal from the master amplifier.

Woofer wiring connections to the ampli- fier subwoofer outputs in this combina- tion should be standard in-phase configu- rations, creating a parallel speaker combination. (Refer to Parallel Synced Gain section of this guide for amplifier and speaker connection diagrams.)

External Synced Bridged

The External Synced Bridged combination includes a master amplifier (1100.5) and a slave amplifier (d600.1).

In this master/slave combination the master amplifier’s pre-amp controls remain active and the slave amplifier’s pre-amp is bypassed. This allows the master amplifier to control gain, filter, and sub-level on both amplifiers.

This combination allows the amplifiers to drive common subwoofer loads while being synced together via an out-of- phase audio pre-amp signal from the master amplifier. In this wiring configura- tion the master amplifier sends the posi- tive signal to the speaker while the slave amplifier sends the negative signal, making an externally bridged speaker combination. (Refer to External Synced Bridged section of this guide for ampli- fier and speaker connection diagrams.)

Combined Amplifiers Gain and Filter Settings

Set the Subsonic, EQ, and other filter settings on the master amplifier to the positions that achieve the best sound quality. Follow the adjustment guidelines discussed in the Crossover and Gain Adjustment section of this guide.
