6B/9B AMPLIFIER BRIDGED MODE HOOKUP The same signal is fed into both amplifier channel inputs via a “Y” adaptor cable. Note that the POLARITY of To SOURCE SIGNAL one channel is the inverse of the other. THIS IS ESSENTIAL for the amplifier to operate in bridged mode. Failure to INVERT one of the channels relative to the other will result in zero output. It does not matter which channel is set to zero degrees and which one is set to 180 degrees, however, as long as they are different. When bri
