SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
BRIDGED MODE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Bridged mode should be used for covering large areas or with
high powered speakers when additional power is required.
When using the M8 in bridged, (high power) mode, follow
the connection instructions in this section. For normal power
mode, see section: Normal Mode Speaker Connections.
CAUTION! Regardless of conguration follow the connection
instructions for normal and bridged power carefully. Failure to
do so can cause severe damage to the M8 and speakers. The
Procient Warranty does not cover this type of damage.
For example of bridged, high power speaker connections,
Channels 5-8 will be used. Diagrams 8/9
1. Use 16AWG (min) 2-conductor stranded speaker wire for
speaker connection. (Refer to the Speaker Wire Length
Chart for wire runs over 150’.)
2. Strip approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch o the ends and
twist the strands together so there are no loose ends that
can cause shorts.
3. Loosen the Channel 5 Bridged - Speaker Terminal as
shown in Diagram 5 so there is enough room between
the post and the collar to feed the striped wire through
without damaging the strands.
4. Tighten the post to secure the wire.
5. Repeat for the appropriate Channel 5-8 bridged + and
- terminals. Bridged Channels 5/6 are the left channel,
Bridged Channels 7/8 are the right channel.
6. Conrm connection and polarity. Conrm again.
7. Connect the speaker wires to the appropr
iate left and
right + and - terminals on the volume control and speak-
ers (Diagram 8 - multiroom) or speakers (Diagram 9
- multizone) .
8. Conrm connection and polarity.
9. Set the
Channel 5/6 and 7/8 Bridged switches to the ON
position as shown in Diagrams 8/9. Failure to do so will
cause severe damage to the M8 and speakers. The Pro-
cient Warranty does not cover this type of damage.
10. Repeat Steps 2-9 for all other rooms/zones that are con-
gured for Bridged Mode.
