Standard application circuits Standard application circuits Figure 3. Suggested applications: 4x 13 W into 2 Ω, at 15 V 4x 11 W into 4 Ω, at 18 V 4x 9 W into 2 Ω, at 12 V 4x 8 W into 4 Ω, at 16 V 4x 5 W into 4 Ω, at 12 V Alternative single-ended speaker connection The best audio performance is obtained with the configuration where each speaker has its own DC blocking capacitor. However, if the application allows a little degradation of the spatial image it is possible to connect a couple of speakers with only one low-value DC blocking capacitor. Suggested applications: 2x 38 W into 4 Ω, at...
