I have 2 NAD 2200 power amps, set up for bridge mono mode. These
amplifiers are designed to operate in this mode, but are somewhat
short on connection instructions. Each amplifier is connected to its
own speaker using the 2 speaker terminals indicated on the back of the
amp for bridged mono mode. Speaker to amp connections i think should
look like this:
Left speaker + ----------------NAD Amp #1 bridged +
Left speaker - ----------------NAD Amp #1 bridged -
Right speaker + ------------NAD Amp #2 bridged +
RIght speaker - -------------NAD Amp #2 bridged -
**This is incorrect. I suggest you refer to your instruction manual. When in
bridge mode, the outputs are taken from the +ve terminals only. The -ve
terminals are not connected.
Connection to the preamp is less clear. My NAD 1135 preamplifier just
has a "normal" and a "high" Pre-Out L and R. I assume i'd use the
"normal" L and R ouputs like this:
Preamp Out
L--------------Y cable-----------------Poweramp #1 input L
\-----------------Poweramp #2 input L
Preamp Out
R-------------Y cable----------------Poweramp #1 input R
\----------------Poweramp #2 input R
Is this right? Thanks.
**You should use the input terminal labelled 'mono'. One connection per
channel.
