Good afternoon,
‘Hoping you can settle a gentleman’s bet for me. On one of your YouTube videos (cheap amp), you comment that a monoblock amp has multiple “outputs”. I have a few guys saying this is proof that a mono amp has multiple outputs.
For as long as I have tinkered with audio (40+ years), “outputs” of an amp refers to “channels” of amplification, and a mono amp has only ever had one channel, or one “output” no matter how many speaker terminals it has attached to it. I have never scene a circuit diagram for a mono amp that showed more than one final output.
The question: When you use the word “outputs”, are you using it in a technically accurate way, or are you using the term improperly since the standard use of “outputs” with regards to amplification means “channels”?
For a bonus question (not mentioned in your video): Would you consider (or call) the wires inside the amp that are connected to the speaker terminal block “bridged” to make the parallel connection?
Thanks for your time,
Enjoy your videos.
No I’m referring to the terminals allowing multiple connections (for speakers). The positives are together and negatives are together on the monoblocks.
I would not say bridged, I’d say they are paralleled.
