10 Chapter 3-Using the CP2000 The following table shows which outputs can be used in each CP2000 mode and the minimum speaker impedance. Note that this is the total speaker impedance that can be connected to each channel. For example, a 2Ω minimum means that you could connect a single 2Ω speaker, two 4Ω speakers in parallel, or four 8Ω speakers in parallel.

In BRIDGE mode, the speakers must be connected to the binding posts labeled "BRIDGE" and the 1/4" phone jacks cannot be used.

In STEREO and PARALLEL modes, the minimum impedance is 2Ω, and for BRIDGE mode it's 4Ω. When speakers are connected in parallel, the impedance is reduced, as shown in the following examples. When connecting multiple speaker cabinets, make sure the total impedance is not less than the minimum.
