2.6.2 Bridge-Mono Mode
Bridge-Mono mode is used to drive loads with a
total impedance of 4 ohms or higher.
Typical input and output wiring is shown in
Figure 2.9.
Turn off the amplifier and set the
Stereo/Mono Switch to Bridge Mono.
INPUTS: Use only the Channel 1 input
connector.
NOTE: Crown provides a reference of wiring pin
assignments for commonly used connector
types in the Crown Amplifier Application Guide
available at www.crownaudio.
OUTPUTS: Connect the speaker across the red
binding post of each channel. Do not use the
black binding posts when the amp is being oper-
ated in Bridge-Mono mode.
The load MUST be balanced (neither side
shorted to ground).
NOTE: The Channel 2 level control MUST
be turned down (full CCW) when operat-
ing the amplifier in Bridge-Mono mode.
CAUTION: Connect only balanced
equip-
ment (meters, switches, etc.) to the
Bridge-Mono output. Both sides of the
line must be isolated from the input
ground, or oscillations may occur.
