First, turn down the Level controls (fully coun-
terclockwise) and turn off the amplifier.

To run in Stereo Mode: On the back panel, set 
the Bridge Output switch and the “Y” Input 
switch OFF (Figure 3.6).

If you want to give up stereo capabilities in order 
to drive your speakers louder, set the Bridge Out-
put switch to ON. Then a single input will feed a 
single output with twice the voltage of stereo 
mode. You might use this configuration if you 
are running a distributed sound system from the 
K Series amp.

If you want to feed a mono audio signal to two 
channels, each with its own level control, set the 
“Y” Input switch ON. This connects both inputs 
in parallel. You might use this setup if you’re 
running a monitor speaker on one channel and a 
main speakers stack on the other channel, and 
you want to feed them the same signal.

If you want daisy-chained inputs fed to a double-
voltage output, set the Bridge Output switch ON 
and the “Y” Input switch ON. For example, con-
nect the input signal to the CH-1 XLR connector 
and use the CH-2 XLR connector plus the two
1/4-inch phone jacks for daisy-chained outputs 
that feed other power amplifiers. 

Set the Input Sensitivity switches of each chan-
nel to the desired setting (see Figure 3.7). Two 
choices are available: 1.4V for full rated output 
(33 dB gain), or a fixed voltage gain of 26 dB.

See Figure 3.8. 

INPUTS: Connect input wiring to both channels.

OUTPUTS: Maintain proper polarity (+/–) on 
output connectors.

Connect Channel 1 positive (+) speaker load to 
Channel 1 positive terminal of amp; repeat for 
negative (–). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for 
Channel 1. 

See Figure 3.9.

Use this configuration if you want to give up
stereo capabilities in order to drive your speak-
ers louder.

On the back panel, set the Bridge Output switch 
ON.

INPUTS: Connect input wiring to Channel 1 
only.

OUTPUTS: Connect the speaker across the posi-
tive terminals of each channel. Do not use the 
negative terminals (black binding posts) 
when the amp is being operated in 
Bridge-Mono mode.
