lf the same signal is fed to the two channels of a 2-channel (stereo) power ampllfier with opposite phase,
the channels will operate in push-pull mode. This means that the amplifier now operates as a monopho-
nic amplifier capable of much higher (fourfold) power output.
The mode selector on the rear panel of the P-7100 makes this connection internally when set to BRIDGE.

o For stereo operation, two P-7100 units are required.

8-ohm speaker is connected, each channel sees an impedance of 4 ohms; i.e. it operates as if driving
a 4-ohm speaker.

In conventional designs, switching to bridged operation means that the voltage applied to the speaker
is doubled, i.e. that gain increases by a factor of 2, Since this can be inconvenient in actual operation,
