Theta Digital Dreadnaught II - Manual (Page 19)

Appendix B Wiring Diagram
This section provides an example illustration of an input and output wiring scheme. In this example, the Dreadnaught
II has 3 single channels and two 2 channel modules installed. Before making any connections, please turn off ALL
audio and video devices. Unplug those that do not have a main power switch. It is recommended that all cables,
including speaker cables be kept as short as possible for best sound quality.

------------ = optional connection.
WARNING: Each channel is a balanced bridge amplifier, thus the negative speaker terminal is NOT a ground, and
cannot be connected to a ground or a loudspeaker system with a common ground. Consult your speaker
manufacturer to ensure that any speaker in your system that will be connected to the Dreadnaught II does NOT have
internal circuitry with a common ground. Damage will occur if the negative terminal is connected to ground, or to a
terminal of another channel or module.
