User Manual – GOLDMUND Epilogue 2 – 8 

CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER(S) 

 
 
The Epilogue 2 and Epilogue 1 together may be powered using any of the following combinations: 
 

  One single stereo amp (or a pair of monos) with one single Speaker Cable set. 

  One single stereo amp (or a pair of monos) with dual Speaker Cable.  

  Two stereo amp (or two pair of monos) with each a Speaker Cable set.  

 
See the connection schematics below for more detail on each type of connection.

NOTE::::    

You may also use an electronic crossover to separate Epilogue 2 and Epilogue 1 frequencies. In 
such a case one power amp will feed the Epilogue 1 and one will feed the Epilogue 2. On the 
Epilogue 2, move the large switch to "Direct", which disconnects the internal crossover for the 
Epilogue 2 drivers. In all other above cases, leave this switch to "STD".

ATTENTION::::

  

Each Epilogue 2 Speaker is delivered with two gold-plated jumpers on the bottom 5-way binding 
posts. Leave those jumpers in place only if you use one single stereo amplifier (or a single pair of 
mono amplifiers) with a single set of speaker cables. In all other cases, you have to remove them 
before making any connection.  
 
If you do not use Goldmund amplifiers, select amplifiers with sufficient speed and dynamic range to 
do justice to the qualities of the Epilogue. A slow amplifier will not have the capability to properly hold 
the ultra-fast drivers of the Epilogue. 
 
You may now connect first the short coaxial cable between the Epilogue 1 and the Epilogue 2. On the 
Epilogue 2 connect it to the connector marked “Epilogue 1”. 
 
Other cable connections depend on the type of amplification and wiring chosen. Follow one of the 
schematics below.
