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 />
