I don't see a mono capability. It is sold as a stereo amp. however if you want a mono output there are splitters, couple of bucks at any electronics supply house, (simply stereo RCA to Mono RCA or visa versa) that can be employed.

The outputs on the back are of the push and lock style on bare speaker wire. There are two sets...one for the right speaker and the other for the left. Sorry if that doesn't help but that is the way the amp is set upnever tried just one speaker. Maybe it is possible. But even though the sound quality is great. I would not buy this amp again. The remote control is completely useless and I have to manually turn the amp on and off.

No, I thought it was going to be in stereo also, but only functions as mono.

Hi Andrew... the software the comes with it has level controls and you can change from stereo to mono. If you want to do much more than that you'll need additional audio software, like Adobe Audition.

I used the switch for two separate pairs of speakers. 1 pair in my garage and the other on our patio and it works great for that. I would contact BOSE customer support,they helped me tremendously when I was setting up the system in our house and I am sure they will be able to give you a quick answer.

Technically only two but I connected two pairs of outside speakers and they sound ok. The volume will be lower because the output is divided in two but they sound fine

Looks like someone's already answered and he's correct. It will create a mono signal which, depending on your needs, might not work for you.

Yes, you can connect alternative speakers to the unit. However, only one pair (two speakers) may be connected.

I am not familiar and don't use Bridge Mode. There is a Stereo/Bridge Mode selector on the back of the unit. Bridge Mode is covered in the manual which reads "Stereo/Bridge Mode Selector lets you select ... BRIDGED input mode to provide over 160 watts RMS mono output. For mono application use only the R+ AND L- of speaker A channel output."

Dear Sir or Madam, I am afraid that we have put wrong description in our listing. We will change it soon. This speaker will play music in mono. Hope you can understand. Thanks.

Not without a speaker switch (use to be available at radio shack). it helps keep the ohms in perspective, but no guarantees

Yes. Channels 2 and 3 both have inputs marked "R" and "L/MONO." If you plug into the mono input, it will play out of both speakers. The single-input Channel 1 will also.

All the switch will do is split your left and right stereo channels. You usually would hook it up to main speaker out puts B or zone 2 of a stereo as it needs to have a "stereo signal" not a surround sound signal.

If I'm understanding the question right then yes but you will need a "Y" adptor/splitter to give that mono sound

Depends on the installation. See instruction manual but you can run one for mono sound or two for stereo sound,

I looked at the schematic - it is stereo throughout, and no bridging switch. Easiest way for you to do what you describe is a mono to stereo adapter, or an RCA "Y" adapter, so that you split the mono signal and feed both the left and right inputs. Then, you'll hear the same audio in both ears of whatever headphones you plug in.

It does work that way. I have 4 "rock" speakers in my backyard (A&B;), and a pair in my master bath (D). They can all function at the same time. You can select one or all 'zones'.

You can, keep in mind that it will be a mono signal. I bought 3 of them I liked it so much.
