  • Page 12: Combining Amplifiers

    COMBINING AMPLIFIERS The Directed D1200/D2400 subwoofer amplifiers have the capability of connecting two or more amplifiers of the same power rating together in a master/slave combination for increased power with accurate level matching. They are the Parallel Synced Gain and External Synced Bridged combinations.
