Thank You. Or do I need to figure out how to convert four channels to mono? Hi, First I want to thank you for this tutorial :-)I have a question about the resistors, how to choose the right value ? Hi what resistor values do you think would work for a 1980's Realistic record player, there is no preamp (I believe) and its going to a 1950's tube amp. 6 months ago. DIYAudioandVideo.com: Speaker/Amplifier Wiring FAQ - Tutorial. The days of equipping them with just analogue inputs and outputs, and a pair of speaker terminals, is now no longer the norm. This is going to be a tutorial on how to take a stereo audio source from a phone for example and convert it to a mono signal to use with a mono amplifier or a two channel amplifier( I'll show you how to do this), and anything that needs a mono signal. Microfidelity mini amplifier model 200. Сейчас подключены по этой схеме, но без R5. Also in your wiring diagram resister values of 470-1000 ohms but you also recommend 220 ohms more than once in your answers to inquiries. 1. The second is to biamp the speaker, an option that could result in better sound. 3006 listen to this good news we now have an. I've read that you can't just plug in the negatives of the amp to the negative on the speaker and the same for positive. This "floating" setup without ground reference is probably responsible for the majority of the superior performance independent of volume in mono operation. So, I hope you liked this tutorial and got this circuit working, ask questions in the comments and me or anybody else will help you hopefully as soon as possible. I hope this helps. Instead, the subwoofer might have right and left (R and L) stereo RCA connectors. Once the speakers are hooked up, there will be a switch marked Stereo, Mono, or Bridged. I use the f/x loop send out of the of the mono tube amp to feed the stereo solid states.all the effects are in the effect loops of the stereo solid state amps.So really using the mono tube preamp for the main tone of the solid states amps. Since you will have only one speaker then only one channel of the Chinese amplifier will be used. Hi Can I use this principle to build a cable to combine a mono input to stereo output? Before there was stereo, there was mono; exactly the same sound came out of all speakers. The first, and easiest, is to use only a single channel of the stereo amp to power your center speaker. A bridged amplifier uses the output from the two stereo channels to drive a single mono speaker load. The reason has an impact on the answer and the method. For bi-amping with bridged amps you need eight stereo amps to convert to four mono amps for bi-amping. Stereo Recording. Stereo amplifier to mono speaker. Can I, for example, hook up the rear only and adjust or fade all the signal out of the front channels to the two being used? Take stereo record player output to 2 channel preamp, THEN run both channels through parallel resistors to the tube amp input. Look for the diagram near the speaker connects to see how yours is bridged. 2 years ago. If there is no signal, power off the amplifier immediately and double check that all wiring is correct. Could these resistor(s) be used on the stereo volume pot to combine the channels to mono? Stereo Audio Files. Playback systems that make use of two speakers are referred to as stereo systems. 4.5 out of 5 stars (32) 32 product ratings - NEW Pyle PT8000CH 19'' Rack Mount 8000 Watt 8 Channel Stereo/Mono Amplifier.
