How do I set up my Crown amplifier to operate in Bridge-Mono?
Amplifier Frequently Asked QuestionsConnect the speaker leads across the two red binding posts, using channel one binding post as the + (hot) connection or on CE's with Speakons across pins 1+ and 2+ on the channel one output.
Related QuestionsHow do I set up my Crown amplifier to operate in Parallel-Mono?
Amplifier Frequently Asked QuestionsNote: For those amplifiers with IOC (Input-Output Comparator) the channel two IOC indicator will illuminate when the unit is operated in Parallel-Mono. Note: CE Contractor Series (CH/CL Series) CP660, D Series and K Series amplifiers cannot operate in a Parallel-Mono mode.
Related QuestionsCan I bridge my mono amplifier?
Subwoofers Frequently Asked QuestionsNo, you can not bridge a mono amp because there is nothing to "bridge" to — whatever impedance load you present to amplifier is the actual load that it sees. This differs from a multichannel amp in that when you bridge two channels together, you halve the load presented to them (for example, 2 4-ohm woofers wired in parallel and bridged to a stereo amplifier is "seen" as a 1-ohm load to that amp).
Related QuestionsHow do I set my amplifier into the Bridge-Mono mode?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThis depends on the amplifier you have. Generally, you will first turn the power off, set the bridge mono switch to the bridge position and attach your speaker wires onto the two red binding posts of each channel. It is then necessary to apply your input signal to channel one on your amplifier and adjust the gain as needed. For some amplifiers, the gain of channel 2 must be turned all the way down while others are required to be all the way up.
Related QuestionsSupport - Face AudioBridge/Mono mode allows a higher load (usually around 2ohms) to be handled more effectively by the amp. It puts the amplifier into a "push, pull" configuration, utilizing both sides of the amp into one single output. Our real answer here is that you should only run in bridged mode when you simply have no other choice. You should always choose the right amp for the load being placed on it.Related Questions
When should I use a mono amplifier instead of a multichannel amplifier?
Amplifiers - FAQBecause mono amps tend to be Class D amplifiers, they are a good choice for powering subwoofers — Class D amplifiers have a high power-to-heat ratio and excellent efficiency, which are exactly what you want when dealing with power-hungry low frequency signals. Most mono amplifiers are designed to run at 2 ohms; some are even 1-ohm stable. Multichannel amplifiers, on the other hand, are typically designed to work with a 4-ohm load.
Related QuestionsShould I use Bridge Mono or Parallel Mono?
Amplifier Frequently Asked QuestionsGenerally, the deciding factor to this dilemma is the total speaker load impedance you wish to drive. With Micro-Tech and Macro-Tech amplifiers you would want to use Bridge Mono to get the most power available when driving 8 or 4-ohm loads (one or two 8 ohm speakers). With a Power-Tech or Com-Tech amplifier you need to stay at 8 ohms or greater. Parallel Mono can be used when driving lower impedance loads. A one-ohm load can be driven Parallel Mono with a Micro-Tech or Macro-Tech.
Related QuestionsWhat is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
Frequently Asked Dental Questions-Dental Solutions-FAQ'sBoth crowns and bridges are referred to as restorative dentistry. They are used to return your teeth to their desired look and stability. Crowns and bridges both add stability to the surrounding teeth and give your smile a more beautiful look.
Related QuestionsWhat is a crown and/or bridge?
TOOTHACHE | GINGIVITIS | TMJ and other Dental Issues explain...Crown and Bridge treatment is a permanent method of replacing missing teeth. A crown is placed on an individual tooth, (somewhat like a thimble over your finger) where there is no longer sufficient tooth structure left to place a filling. A bridge spans a space where one or more teeth have been lost in the dental Arch. The teeth on either end of the span are crowned, and are referred to as Abutments. The false teeth in a bridge that join the abutments are referred to as pontics.
Related QuestionsHow do I bridge a Class D mono amplifier?
MTX Mobile Audio - Frequently Asked QuestionsSince we have come out with the Class D line of amplifiers, we have had an abundance of technical calls inquiring about how to bridge them. It isn't possible to bridge any mono-block Class D amplifiers. All of these models are Mono amplifiers, meaning they only have one channel. Then why does a single channel amp have two terminals (L and R)? We put both terminals there for your convenience. If you have two speakers, it is hard to attach two speaker leads under one terminal screw.

Related QuestionsI want to send my Crown amplifier to the factory for service. What should I do?
Amplifier Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen sending a Crown product to the factory for service, be sure to fill out the service information form found in the back of your manual and enclose it with your shipment, either inside the box or in a packing slip envelope securely attached to the outside of the shipping carton. Do not send the service information form separately. If you don't have your manual, you can also download a copy of the form here (pdf file, requires Adobe Acrobat to read).

Related QuestionsHow can I parallel the inputs of my Crown amplifier with the same signal?
Amplifier Frequently Asked QuestionsThe input impedance of Crown amplifiers is high enough that paralleling multiple inputs together is not a problem. Using a standard "Y" cable works wonderfully. Without using a "Y" cable, the procedure is different depending upon the Crown amplifier used. Com-Tech amplifiers have barrier block inputs that make it easy to tie two or more channels together. With Macro-Tech amplifiers the 1/4" inputs are in parallel with the inputs of the PIP-FX.
Related QuestionsWhat are the benefits of hooking up 2 subwoofers to a mono amplifier? How would I wire them?
Subwoofers Frequently Asked QuestionsThe benefits of hooking up two subs to a mono amplifier are the same as hooking up any other number of subs to a mono amp: you can push the subs with more power at lower impedances. Because lower frequencies are less directional (i.e. it's more difficult for your ears to determine where low frequencies come from than highs), bass is often transmitted in mono. Mono here refers to a single channel (as opposed to stereo, or two channels), not one speaker.

Related QuestionsCan I run one channel of my Crown amplifier at a different impedance than the other channel?
Amplifier Frequently Asked QuestionsYes. All dual channel Crown amplifiers can be treated as if they are two separate "mono" amplifiers (One channel completely independent of the other) For example: A Macro-Tech 1202 can function with a single eight-ohm speaker on channel one and four eight-ohm speakers (a two-ohm load) on channel two. A Com-Tech 410 can function with one or two eight-ohm speakers on one channel and the other channel switched to 70-volt operation.
Related QuestionsHow many subwoofers can I hook up to my amplifier? Can I bridge my amp and run two in parallel?
Subwoofers Frequently Asked QuestionsA well-made stereo amplifier that is stable to 2 ohms should be able to handle up to four 4-ohm woofers (two subwoofers wired in parallel to each channel). If you want to bridge a 2-channel amp to one channel, it's best to only connect one 4-ohm woofer. The minimum impedance for the bridged (mono) output of a 2-channel amp is usually 4 ohms. Mono subwoofer amps, like the Kenwood KAC-819, are stable down to 2 ohms, allowing you to hook up two 4-ohm subs in parallel.
Related QuestionsDo I have to get a crown, bridge, or dentures? Is there an alternative?
Dental Health Associates of Madison - Frequently Asked Quest...Yes. Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. For some people, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically placed below the guns over a series of appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture. A thorough evaluation by your dentist will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.

Related QuestionsWhat precedents were set during the fight to protect Mono Lake?
Mono Lake FAQOver twenty years of citizen advocacy underlie Mono Lake’s current protection. Before the Water Board decision protecting the lake could be achieved, important legal concepts were debated and decided upon. One of these debates related to restrictions that prohibit dam owners from drying up downstream fisheries. Written into the state’s Fish and Game codes, these provisions were not enforced until lawsuits were brought in the 1980s.
