Smart Power Bridge

Smart Power Bridge gives you the benefits of a bridged output channel without sacrificing an amp channel.
You can Smart Power Bridge any one channel of an LEA Connect Series amplifier. For example, on a Connect Series 4 channel product, you can put channel 1 in Smart Power Bridge mode and get double the power output on that channel, channel 2 in 70V or  100V mode and have channel 3 and 4 in Low-Z mode.
