Bridging (Strapping) - Orion XTR5001 Manual Del Propietário

Bridging (strapping)

For bridging into a single speaker load, the orion XtR5001, XtR10001
and XtR15001 have the ability to be bridged with another amplifier of
the same model . to do this you must utilize the MAsteR/CoPY switch
settings . For the MAsteR amplifier, set the switch setting to MAsteR .
this will route the signal through RCA to the other (slave) amplifier .
on the slave amplifier set this switch to the CoPY position . Refer
to Line Output Configuration section of this manual . set the PHAse
switch on the slave amp, move the phase switch from 0 to 180, exactly
opposite of the master amp . Refer to the Phase Switches section of
this manual .
on the slave amplifier be sure to turn off all crossovers . For the
speaker connections, connect the positive (+) speaker lead from the
speaker to the positive (+) speaker terminal of the master amplifier .
on the negative (-) speaker connection, take the negative (-) speaker
terminal of the master amplifier and connect it directly to the nega-
tive (-) speaker terminal of the slave amplifier . the remaining positive
(+) speaker terminal of the slave amplifier must be connected to the
negative (-) speaker lead from the speaker .
WARNING! the impedance of the speaker must not be less than 2Ω .
see diagram below .
NOTE: For best results, connect both negative speaker terminals on
the master amp to both negative terminals on the slave amp using at
least 12 AWG cable .
