16 Parallel Mode SETUP- Operating Mode Selection: Parallel In parallel mode, channel 1 and channel 2 XLR inputs are connected in parallel. Applying an input signal to either XLR input will drive both channels. Each channel still has independent gain control, clip limiting, and output connection, just like stereo mode. Do not use the RCA inputs if o ...

QSC Audio SRA 1222 - page 17
17 Bridge Mode In bridge mode, both output channels are interconnected into one, higher power output. The result is one output with about 4 times the peak power and about 3 times the sustained power of a single channel. Use CH1’ s gain control, clip limiter , and LF filter . Use channel 1’ s XLR or RCA input. Output connection is different for ...

22 Connecting the Outputs to the Loudspeakers There are two basic speaker connection configurations for the SRA amplifier . Stereo and parallel modes use two separate output connections (two loudspeaker loads). Bridge mode uses one output connection (one loud- speaker load). Use either the binding post or the Speakon output connectors. Each connect ...
