If you have a balanced output from a source(microphone preamp, mixer, balanced preamplifier), then the one signal is out of phase
with the other signal and both referenced to ground. The easiest way to bridge an amplifier that doesn't have a bridge switch is to drive the two inputs with identical but out of phase signals. So putting the two together means that the preamplifier will be operating in unbalanced mode, but the opposite phase signals will then drive the amplifier in bridge mode if the speaker is placed across the two positive terminals. Or dual mono mode with each speaker bring driven out of phase with each other. This could place less stress on an amplifier with a shared power supply since each output would draw off the opposite DC rail at the same time. Am I understanding the electrical properties associated with balanced outputs and the ability to bridge an amplifier? |
