Speaker Wiring

The Sekrit DSM has 4 DAC channels and 4 Power Amplifiers. These amplifiers can be configured in single ended mode or bridged mode. All speaker outputs (and Analogue Output) share the same common Volume control.

Connections to the speakers are made via Neutrik Speakon connectors, NL4FX. Neutrik Speakon Assembly Instructions

The single ended mode is best suited to bi-amping a pair of passive speakers or for driving multiple pairs of loadspeakers. Bridged mode is best suited to driving a single pair of loudspeakers.

The wiring details are shown below:

• 33W/channel in single-ended mode
• 50W/channel in bridged mode
