Bridged-Mono Operation
Figure 3: Bridged-Mono operation of the MOON W-8 Dual-Mono Amplifier
In the event that you wish to operate the MOON W-8 Dual-Mono Power Amplifier as a monoblock amplifier, it can be
converted to bridged mode without any complex modifications. Only a Simaudio XLR-BRIDGE Y-cable is required. This custom
cable will allow one input signal to be sent to both channels of the amplifier’s inputs, as pictured above in Figure 3. One lead
from the “Y” adapter must plug into right channel input and the other lead must plug into left channel input. As well, you
must use the positive terminal of each output binding post (exactly as in figure 3) for the loudspeaker connection. If you are
unsure about how to accomplish a bridged-mono mode of operation, don’t hesitate to contact your Simaudio MOON dealer.
The MOON W-8 produces 1000 watts of output power at 8 ohms for a single channel when operating in bridged-mono mode.
