System Amplifier K&F TOPAS<br />
5.5.2 Connecting Speakers<br />
Position<br />
Description<br />
A Speakon connector, CH2 = 1+/1-, CH1 = 2+/2-<br />
B Phoenix connector, CH 2 and CH 1<br />
C Speakon connector, CH1 = 1+/1-, CH2 = 2+/2-<br />
The speaker outputs are designed as Speakon and Phoenix connectors. Both outputs are<br />
available on both Speakon connectors.<br />
All outputs of a channel are electrically connected to one another in parallel.<br />
On each channel of the amplifier, you can operate a load with an impedance of at least 2<br />
ohms each.<br />
In addition to two-channel mode (Dual/Mono), the amplifier can also be switched to so-called<br />
bridge mode (Bridge). Each operating mode requires a different type of speaker connection.<br />
Bridge mode<br />
In the bridge mode, both amplifier channels are bundled to one channel. In that case the<br />
amplifier is capable of providing very high output power levels.<br />
To operate a speaker in bridge mode,<br />
• the speaker must be connected between CH1+ and CH2+ [compare to illus. LS Outputs].<br />
In this case, CH1+ is connected to the positive pin of the speaker.<br />
• the amplifier routing must be switched to 'Bridge Mode'. (see page 31)<br />
Never allow the load impedance to fall below 4 ohms in bridge mode. Otherwise, the<br />
amplifier would interpret this to be a short circuit and would shut down early.<br />
The filter settings for channel 2 are inactive.<br />
In the web interface, switching is possible in the menu item. (see page 31)<br />
