Speaker Connections
Speakers can be connected to the amplifier in three ways, as shown below. Note that speaker impedance will vary according
to the connection method and the number of speakers. Please be sure that your speaker's impedance is not less than the rele-
vant minimum value indicated below.
■ Stereo Mode
Set the Mode switch to STEREO to use the unit as a stereo amplifier. The volume controls on the front panel (A and B) let
you control the volume of each channel independently.
● 5-way binding post ● Speakon connector
■ Parallel Mode
Set the Mode switch to PARALLEL to use the unit as a two-channnel mono amplifier. The volume controls on the front
panel (A and B) let you control the volume of each channel independently.
● 5-way binding post ● Speakon connector
Note: In this case, the loads for A and B are connected directly in the amplifier. Make sure not to input any signal
to the B terminal.
