Also, your preamplifier may “thump” at dangerous volumes if the amplifier is already on when the preamp turns on. It is usually best to turn the amplifier on only when it is needed. The [...]

Bridged Mode The SI-2125’ s bridged mode switch allows you to create a more powerful amplifier by combining both channels into one (8 ohm minumum). In the bridged mode, connect the speakers to the left red positive terminal and the right red positive terminal. In the bridged mode the right channel’ s red terminal becomes positive and the left c[...]
