How do I bridge the ep2500/4000 using speakon

I am confused, what does the writing on the back mean?

I have dual pole male to male speakon cables but there only seems to be one way they go in and lock into place.

Am I missing something? Is all you have to do is just use channel one and change the switches to bridged and its done?

Set switches 6 and 7 "ON" for "BRIDGE MODE ON" and connect the speaker to the "OUTPUT 1" Speakon socket or the middle two speaker binding posts.

You need a two pole line connector that will mate with the four pole socket "OUTPUT 1" socket connecting to +1/+2. You will have to take apart a standard +1/-1 two pole connector and rewire it +1/+2.

After it’s modified, you now have a directional speaker cable. It would be a good idea to identify the modified end with a piece of colored electrical tape or something, in case it ever has to be disconnected for some reason.

Wasted money on speakon cables? :scratch:

On nearly all of them the end simply screws off allowing you to configure or wire it however you need it for your application. In bridged mode you need to use +1 and +2 at the amp. You can wire it a number of different ways at the other end. You can even configure 4 conductor cables for bridged easily by wiring 2 conductors to each terminal at the amp. You can easily convert any wire to use speakon connectors.
