stereo inputs to mono output on sure ta2024?

causeway · 30th April 2011, 07:12 PM

hi, i just finished wiring a small outdoor boombox with a ta2024, sounds great but i am only getting one channel output as it is a single speaker. is there a simple way to turn the stereo input into a mono output from the speaker? the friend i got the amp from seemed to think that only having one speaker attached would output the stereo source over the single speaker.

sorry i am typing this from my phone, apologies for mistakes. Also i am rubbish at trying to explain what i mean and dont know the lingo.

thanks and regards!

Just connect the two channels together.

how would i connect the two channels? it says not to short the outputs together as they arent on the same net.

thx

Then put 100r resistors in series with each channel then short them.

My ipod works fine with them shorted.

A 100r resistor on each channel Then positive from one channels terminal to the others negative terminal and a wire between the other negative and positive? Sorry its been a while since i did any electronics at all, appreciate your suggestions.

A 100r in series with each channel then join the output from the resistors together. Then connect the earths together.

You CANNOT bridge most of the tripath boards, as they are already bridged internally. The ta2024 cannot be bridged.
