Bridged-Mono Operation
Figure 3: Bridged-Mono operation of the MOON W5.3 Stereo Amplifier
In the event that you wish to operate the MOON W5.3 Stereo 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 W5.3 produces 600 watts of output power at 8 ohms for a single channel when operating in bridged-mono mode.
