Connect Za3 in dual mono mode Xlr

[Hannez0101]

Hi

I am interested in buying another Za3 and connecting them in dual . How do I do the Xlr connection to the Zd3 and the speaker connections? I also have a sub is it right to connect the sub out on one of the amplifiers. And lastley i have an q acoustic 3050c tower speakers will I hear a difference connecting 2 Za3 In dual mode? Can one send a picture to see the dual setup?

How do I do the Xlr connection to the Zd3 and the speaker connections?

ZD3 Left XLR output->ZA3 Right XLR input->Mono Speaker out->Left speaker

ZD3 Right XLR output->ZA3 Right XLR input->Mono Speaker out->Right speaker

(Yes, both Amps use the Right XLR input)

ZD3->RCA output->Subwoofer

->don't see a point in using the ZA3's Sub out here. Volume will be controlled upstream of the ZA3s anyway and LPF should be adjusted on the sub. The ZA3's built-in LPF is counterproductive here.

You can also do ZD3 Trigger out->Trigger Splitter y-cable->both ZA3 Trigger inputs so that the Amps turn on and off with the DAC.

And lastley i have an q acoustic 3050c tower speakers will I hear a difference connecting 2 Za3 In dual mode?

Mono mode has more gain, and more headroom.

Without changing the DAC volume, switching to dual mono alone will raise playback volume by 20%.

Switching to dual mono will also raise the headroom enough for 10% louder playback before the Amp clips (4Ω, 48V5A), compared to a single ZA3 in Mono.

That's it. There are no other differences in sound quality.
