The ENA2x00-AC2 Amplifiers supports One Channel Mode.

When "One Channel mode" is activated, the two loudspeaker channels will play identical audio, and the audio will be in phase. One can then choose to use two separate loudspeaker loops, or one can bridge the two output channels, and use one loudspeaker loop.

When the ENA amplifier is used in "ICX-AlphaCom" mode you need amplifier license (1002600500 ILS-AMP) for one channel only.

Configuration

Log in to the ENA Amplifier. Select Amplifier Settings > Line Control, and enable One Channel Mode:

Status LED

There is a green LED inside the Amplifier, right behind the loudspeaker connector, which will turn ON when "One Channel mode" is active. The LED can be seen through the rear grille.

It is recommended to check that the "OneChannel-LED" is turned ON before bridging the two channels.

Wiring

The bridging the two loudspeaker channels into one must be done by the installer, by shorting wires on the rear connector, or at external terminal blocks.
