Proper amplifier use
1. Using the TP21 with loudspeakers:
Please connect loudspeakers according to the diagram above, where the
appropriate loudspeaker terminals connect to the associated amplifier output
terminal. Use either bare speaker wire or cables terminated with banana plugs.
Ensure that you do not short out the amplifier, connecting positive speaker
output terminals to negative speaker output terminals (on the same channel or
across both channels), as this can cause permanent damage to the amplifier
and voids the warranty. Additionally, this amplifier cannot be connected in
bridged-mono mode for a single output; this will permanently damage the
amplifier and void the warranty.
2. Using the TP21 with headphones:
The TP21 has dual output, when you plug headphones into the TP21, the
TP21 automatically switches to headphone mode and only sends signal to the
headphone amplifier section, disconnecting the Tripath TA2021's amplifier
speaker output.
