BRIDGED OPERATION

Bridging is the process of converting the left and right channels of your

amplifier to act as if it was a single, much larger, one channel

amplifier. To play music from both channels (stereo) you would need a

second amplifier in bridged mode. Bridging permits you to increase the

amount of power you send to each channel by almost four times.

Bridging is useful with low sensitivity, high-impedance speakers that

require high voltage.

Bravo is a 350 w/ch two channel power amplifier consisting of two

chassis. Supply chassis features inductor (choke) input. Amplifier

chassis consists of two half-bridge audio sections permitting amplifier

to be configured as:

• A stereo amp rated at 350 w/ch (a two box set);

• A half-bridge parallel mode mono block rated at 400 w/ch (a four

box set) recommended for use with low impedance speakers (4

Ohms to 1 Ohm)-rated at 1000 w/ch into 4 Ohms, 1200 w/ch

into 2 Ohms and 1600 w/ch into 1 Ohm; used in full bridge

mode (an 8 box set) will produce 3600 w/ch into 1 ohm;

• A bridge-mode mono block rated at 1200 w/ch into 8 Ohms (a

four box set) and 1600 w/ch into 4 Ohms.

BRIDGE OPERATION

NOTE: Two Bravo amplifier chassis can be bridged together if each

amplifier is set to Internal Parallel Mode. For setup purposes we will

designate one amplifier amp A and the second amplifier amp B.

Setup:

1) Set each amplifier to Internal Parallel Mode

2) Use Left channel input of amp A for signal input

3) Connect input Bridging cable provided in your Bridging Kit, from

amp A to Left channel input of amp B

4) Use Left channel “H” output terminals of amp A as your plus (+)

speaker out

5) Use Left channel “H” output terminal of amp B as your minus (—)

speaker out

6) Connect Left channel “L” output terminals of amps A&B together

with the jumper provided in your Bridging Kit.

7) Connect DC Supply harness provided in your Bridge Kit between

DC inputs of amp A and amp B. Observe proper color codes.
