- For bridged (mono) operation, set the 'BRIDGE' switch to 'ON'. Connect your single speaker to the designated bridged output terminals (refer to the markings on the rear panel).
5.3 Tilslutning af lydkilder
- Connect your pre-amplifier or audio source to either the Balanced XLR Inputs or Unbalanced RCA Inputs. Do not use both simultaneously for the same channel.
- If using balanced connections, ensure the XLR cables are securely connected.
- If using unbalanced connections, ensure the RCA cables are securely connected.
