Belles Ocm 200

At present I have a Belles Ocm 200 power amp looking to find another one . In doing so can I use them as mono blocks? 

Since these units have a XLR jack in the rear. When using this jack does this make the amp have single output with a higher output?

Also what channel whould be active left or right?

Thanks Wayne

I used to own 2 OCM 200's in monoblock configuration with XLR interconnects. They sounded great and doubled their power output this way. Speaker outputs only on positive terminal on each amp(I think, it's been > 15 years). Good luck

I have 2 OCM 500s of different generations or configurations as some may know David made these in several versions and in at least 2 generations. The newer one has a 17" black faceplate (I also once saw one in smokey silver), with BI-WIRE WBT binding posts (4 sets) and MOS-FETS. My 2nd one (I bought new) has a 19" faceplate with one stereo pair of WBT binding posts and Bi-Polar outputs instead of MOS-FETs and it had rack handles when I got it. Power was ALMOST doubled when bi-amped (500 up to 800 WPC @8 ohms).

I have been using them Bi-amped since I got the 2nd one nearly 20 years ago,

All OCMs were bi amp able as far as I know

I've had Levinsons, Krells, ARCs, Plinius and many others and these have no peers in my experience IMHO.....and BTW I've had a couple of phone convos with David and have always found him cordial and willing to give advice, etc.

Great Amps. Ive found when bridging the sonic character may shift somewhat

Good luck
