Bridge connections
In a bridge connection conguration, the M-5000 is used
as a monaural amplier. To create a stereo system, you
need two M-5000 units.
On each amplier, connect the “+” terminal of the
SPEAKERS L CH to the “−” terminal of the SPEAKERS
R CH. For this connection, use a cable that features the
same material as the speaker cables, and a length of 1.0 m
or less and a cross-sectional area of 1.0 mm
2
or larger. Do
not bundle the cable.
Connect the input source to the L-channel input jacks on
both M-5000 units.
NOTICE
Since amplication will be doubled in this conguration,
adjust the volume level appropriately on the connected
preamplier. If you are using a Yamaha preamplier that
features a GAIN selector, adjust the volume level using this
selector so that you will be able to use volume controls on
other components in the usual way.
