7 2-Channel stereo configuration This is the ‘standard’ stereo operation mode, with the amplifier driving 2 speakers in stereo (such as the Surround Back Left and Surround Back Right speakers in a THX Surround EX® home theater system). The amplifier delivers its rated stereo power output into each speaker. 1 Make sure that the KMF-X9000’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before making any connections.
7 Mono (bridged, or BTL) configuration In this configuration, the KMF-X9000’s two individual channels operate together to drive a single speaker (such as a subwoofer) in mono. This allows the amplifier to deliver more than double the power of one of its channels to the speaker. 1 Make sure that the KMF-X9000’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before making any connections.
7 2-Channel mono configuration In this configuration you can connect 2 speakers (such as 2 subwoofers) to the KMF-X9000 and send a single preamp signal (such as a mono subwoofer output) to both speakers without using a Y-adapter. The amplifier delivers its rated stereo power output to each speaker. 1 Make sure that the KMF-X9000’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before making any connections.
