BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING

We  recommend  bi-wiring  or  bi-amping  for

improved sound quality.

To  bi-wire  or  bi-amp,  remove  the  metal  straps

before going on to the next steps. The top termi-

nal pair on each speaker connects  to the high

frequency crossover section and the bottom ter-

minal pair connects directly to the low frequency

crossover section.

To bi-wire (fig. 3), connect cable from one pair of

terminals on each speaker to the amplifier’s out-

put terminals. Then, connect another cable  from

the second pair of speaker terminals to the SAME

terminals on the amplifier.

To bi-amp (fig. 4), two identical stereo amplifiers

should  be  used.  Connect  cable  from  the  bass

terminals of the left speaker to the left channel of

one  of  the  amplifiers.  Connect  cable  from  the

bass terminals of the right speaker to the right

channel of the same amplifier.

Connect cable from the high frequency terminals

of the left speaker to the left channel of the second

amplifier.  Then,  connect  cable  from  the  high

frequency terminals of the right speaker to the

right channel of the second amplifier.

Bi-wiring  offers  improvements  in  the  areas  of

openness  and  reduces  intermodulation  distort-

ion.  Bi-amping  offers  further  improvements  in

these areas with the added benefit of increased

dynamics.

Tighten all connections securely so that the cable

cannot  slip  out.  Make  certain  that  no  loose

strands of wire are sticking out. Wire connected

to a terminal must never touch wire connected

to any other terminal.

Cable quality and design do make a difference. Buy the best cable you can reasonably

afford. In this simple way, you can raise the performance of your system to a higher level.
