Commercial Power Amplifier
Bridge mono Configuration (Direct Coupled)
If higher power levels are required, the Atlas amplifier can be used in Bridge Mono mode, which
utilizes both channels of the amp across the speaker load.

To loudspeakers,
4 Ω minimum
25V, 70.7V, and 100V Transformer Output Wiring
For transformer coupled operation into high impedance loads, connect your loudspeaker leads
to the barrier strip connections labeled "Audio Transformer." Connect the speaker home runs as
follows:
• 25V - Connect the positive speaker lead to the terminal labeled "100" and the negative
speaker lead to the terminal labeled "70" (Figure 8).
• 70.7V - Connect the positive speaker lead to the terminal labeled "70" and the negative
speaker lead to the terminal labeled "0" (Figure 9).
• 100V - Connect the positive speaker lead to the terminal labeled "100" and the negative
speaker lead to the terminal labeled "0" (Figure 10).
Note: Refer to page 6 of this manual to the paragraph entitled "Calculating Constant Voltage
Loads" to determine how many transformer coupled loudspeakers you can drive with the Atlas
amplifier.
