The ECS8D is equipped with two (2) switches: the 

Bipole/Dipole

 switch and the 

Surround/DVC

 switch. The two switches work independently, they are used to 

customize the ECS6D performance for different applications.

In 

Dipole mode

, the speaker is in STEREO mode (2 speakers in 1). The two 

terminals  are  totally  independent  (2  separate  inputs,  using  both  terminals). 
Each terminal has an impedance of 8-Ohm. The speaker can be set in Surround 
or in DVC mode depending on the listener preferences. In 

Bipole mode

, the 

speaker  is  in  MONO  mode.  The  two  terminals  are  internally  connected  in 
parallel (1 input needed, using only one terminal). The total speaker impedance 
is 4-Ohm. Again, he speaker can be set in Surround or in DVC mode depending 
on the listener preferences.

In 

DVC mode

, the speaker exhibits higher level of details & separation between 

L  &  R  channels.  The 

Surround  mode

  gives  the  speaker  response  more 

surround  feeling,  deeper  warmer  bass  &  more  blending  between  L  &  R 
channels.
