A2 INSTALLATION MANUAL
Applications
The A2 is specifically designed for multi-speaker applications. Three parallel amplifiers per channel provide high-cur-
rent drive for high-impact bass performance. The A2 also features three pair of gold-plated 5-way binding posts for
easy connection of multiple speaker pairs, a Remote Audio Mute Circuit that eliminates any “noise” that might come
through the speakers when the source components are not in use and 'installer-friendly' Channel Level Adjustments
which are easily accessible via the front panel.
4 Ohm Speakers
Since the A2 Power Amplifier is stable down to a 2 ohm load, it can handle multiple speaker pairs wired in
parallel. The following diagrams show the maximum number of speaker pairs that can be connected to the A2.
