I would like to use this st202 for a sub amp, and would like to bridge it for mono. b&k's web site doesn't have a manual for this one - i guess it's too old. Anyone know how to do this? Michael
Maybe so, Sean, but its 2 channels can always be paralleled, for double rated maximum power while maintaining its inherent ability to deliver hi current--which DOESN'T happen when bridging 2 channels of a SS amp. .
"Running the channels in parallel to the same voice coil requires massive circuit re-working, much more than the simple circuit required for bridging."
Huh? One simply parallels the 2 inputs and the 2 outputs. No circuitry required, as there is for bridging, wherein one channel runs an inverted signal and then half of each channel's signal is combined at the output. B&K even has this parallel method in their manuals. .
