NOTE: Only one pair of channels can be bridged
together. Do not attempt to bridge both A & B
speaker terminals, as this may result in a lower impedance
than the amplifier is designed to accommodate, and may
damage your amplifier. The minimum impedance for the
total load connected to a pair of channels in the bridged
mode is 8-ohm.
NOTE: This amplifier is capable of use with standard
US voltage (115VAC) as well as European voltage
(230VAC). The amplifier will be preset for the voltage of the
country it is sold in. Use with other voltages requires some
changes to be made to the amplifier. Should you wish to use
the amplifier in a country other than the one for which it was
purchased, please contact Phoenix Gold Home Products

Applications
Powering Speakers Outdoors
Whenever you are using loudspeakers outdoors, you
should be aware that sound does not travel like it
would in your home. Without the reflective surfaces of walls
and ceilings, sound outdoors will dissipate quickly. Therefore,
in an outdoor situation the AMP200 provides the opportunity
to bridge adjacent channels, effectively doubling the available
power for your speakers. This can help to overcome the
problem of using speakers outdoors assuming the speakers
chosen are capable of handling the additional power.
It should be noted that the AMP200 is rated to
operate into a minimum 8-ohm bridged load.
Therefore, if you are using more than a single 8-ohm
loudspeaker in bridged mode you should consider using an
impedance matching speaker selector, such as the Innovative
Home ASM4, ASM6 or ASM8 or possibly using an impedance
matching volume control, such as the Innovative Home VMT1
in a weatherproof housing available at your favorite DIY store
or electrical supply. The choice of a volume control would
allow you the additional flexibility of being able to attenuate
the volume whenever necessary.
