6BRIDGE MODE

The C 368 amplifier can be configured to be MONO (Bridge Mode), more than doubling its output power. This way, the C 368 can be used as part of a high power stereo or home-theatre system, by connecting additional power amplifiers.

•In BRIDGED MODE (switch at ON (MONO) setting), the C 368 will produce approximately 300W into an 8 ohm loudspeaker. In this mode, the amplifier sections will react as though the speaker impedance has been halved. Low impedance speakers (under 8 ohms) are not recommended when using Bridge Mode as these may cause the amplifier’s thermal cut-out to operate if played at high levels.

•Set the BRIDGE MODE switch to the “ON (MONO)” position and connect the speaker to the terminals marked “L +” and “R-” ensuring that the “L+” is connected to the “+” terminal of your speaker and the “R-” is connected to the speaker’s “ - ” terminal.

•Connect the source to the Left input sockets only. Do not connect anything to the Right Input socket when Bridge Mode is selected.

7SPEAKERS

•The C 368 has two sets of SPEAKER connections which are identical in function (parallel connection).

•Connect C 368’s Right speaker terminals marked “R +” and “R-” to the corresponding “+” and “-“ terminals of your designated right speaker. Repeat the same for C 368’s Left speaker terminals and corresponding left speaker.

•Double check the speaker connections before powering up the C 368.

IMPORTANT NOTES

•The blue terminals must never be connected to ground (earth).

•Never connect the blue terminals together or to any common ground device.

•Do not connect the output of this amplifier to any headphone adapter, speaker switch or any device that uses common ground for left and right channels.

NOTES

•Use 16 gauge (American Wire Gauge or AWG) or lower stranded wire. Connections to the C 368 can be made with banana-type plugs.

•Bare wire or pins can also be used by loosening the terminal’s plastic nut, making a clean, neat connection and re-tightening. To minimize the danger of a short circuit, ensure that only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is used to connect and no loose strands of speaker wire.

8POWER
