Does this mean the SLA4 can be bridged in some way to combine 2 of the 4 channels per side?
Of course, as an audiophile I would be disappointed to not have 2 chassis, which means a pair of SLA2's might still be better....

The SLA4 accepts single-ended 1/4" phone plugs and balanced Euroblocks. In either case, if you have single-ended RCA interconnects, just get some RCA-to-1/4" adapters. If you used balanced XLR, you can plug them in as-is to the SLA1 and SLA2. If you want to use balanced XLR to the SLA4, you would replace the XLR plugs at that end with Euroblocks, which cost about $1 apiece from electric/electronic parts suppliers. |
