It’s Under Control® CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION CONNECTING AUDIO SOURCES CONTINUED The following diagram shows just one of many possible configurations when a CP-1650 in Bridge Mode is connected to an RTI audio distribution system (the AD-8 audio distribution system is shown here). In this example, CH 1/2 and CH 3/4 on the rear of the CP-1650 have been daisy chained so that their output goes to different individual speakers with the same audio feed.
CP-1650 CHAPTER 3 | Cool Power Audio Amplifier INSTALLATION AND OPERATION SPEAKER WIRE TERMINATION Install the four supplied phoenix connectors into the speaker outputs on the CP-1650. Connect the positive and negative wires for each audio channel output, keeping the proper orientation of positive and negative signals for each speaker connection. Typically, two-conductor speaker wire uses red to denote positive and black to denote negative.
It’s Under Control® TRIGGER/CONSTANT SWITCH When the Trigger Switch is set at “Trigger,” the Power Button toggles the CP-1650 between the “Standby” and “Off” modes.
