Coustic 401SE - Manuel (Page 6)

FOR BRIDGED (MONO) MODE
Note: For bridged mono mode, we recommend a total load of 4 or 8 ohms.
1. Connect the left positive ("+") speaker output of the amplifier to the positive input terminal of
the speaker.
2. Connect the right negative ("–") speaker output of the amplifier to the negative input terminal
of the speaker.
3. Make sure that BOTH RCAs (left/right) are plugged in, otherwise bass response and output
will suffer.

INPUT CONNECTIONS
Connect the RCA input jacks of the Amplifier to the output of the Source Unit (i.e., radio, cassette
player or CD player). If line level output is not available, connect the speaker outputs of the
source unit to the Speaker Level input of the amplifier.
Figure 8: High/Low Impedance Inputs
Note: Connect the black ground wire to the source unit ground only if alternator noise is
present.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Connect the Amplifier to the Speakers. Use heavy gauge speaker wires (e.g. 8 - 10 gauge desir-
able) for these connections.
FOR STEREO MODE
Note: We recommend a total speaker load of 2, 4 or 8 ohms per channel
1. Connect the left negative ("–") speaker output of the amplifier to the negative terminal of the
left speaker.
2. Connect the left positive ("+") speaker output of the amplifier to the positive terminal of the left
speaker.
3. Connect the right negative ("–") speaker output of the amplifier to the negative terminal of the
right speaker.
4. Connect the right positive ("+") speaker output of the amplifier to the positive terminal of the
right speaker.
