Note: Configure the output mode of the amplifier before connecting loudspeakers. See page 22 for details on front panel configu-
ration. Carefully follow the proper connection method for the selected output configuration.
The wiring of the connector varies by amplifier output configuration. The output terminal assignments for Mono (single channel) and
V-Bridge configurations are printed on the rear panel of the amplifier.
The following graphics illustrate wiring examples for the different output configuration modes. Mixed combinations of Mono, V-Bridge,
and I-Share modes are possible from one output block.
Figure 6. Output wiring showing the four basic configurations
Mono mode V-Bridge mode
I-Share mode Quad mode
Note: Changing the output configuration may automatically place the unit in Standby Mode to allow the safe installation of loudspeaker
cable connections to the rear panel output terminal blocks.
Note: While not optimal, a 70/100V loudspeaker load can be driven off a single channel in Mono mode but is limited to 50 V RMS / 71 V
Peak capability. Download the application note "Using Mono Mode to Drive High Impedance Loudspeaker Loads" from pro.Bose.com
for details on how to adjust software and tap settings for this derated use.
