Project Everest DD66000 terminals are also designed to accept spade- or
banana-type connectors, which are fastened to the ends of the wires and, in
turn, are attached to the terminal posts.
Two sets of input terminals of Project Everest DD66000 are designed for use
with bi-wire and bi-amp connections. Read the following explanations and use
the suitable method.
I. Passive Connection Method
The passive method requires one amplifier and one set of wires. Connections
are made to either the upper terminals or the lower terminals. Do not remove
the shorting straps.
II. Bi-Wire Connection Method
The bi-wire connection method requires one amplifier and two sets of speaker
wires. By removing the shorting straps, connections may be made to the
individual network sections using four connectors, high-frequency wires to the
upper terminals and low-frequency wires to the lower terminals.
III. Bi-Amp Connection Method
The bi-amp connection method requires two amplifiers, one for the low-
frequency unit and one for the high-frequency unit, and a crossover network.
By removing the shorting straps, connections may be made in the following
way. Wires from the high-frequency amplifier are connected to the upper
terminals, and wires from the low-frequency amplifiers are connected to the
lower terminals.
Project Everest DD66000 is shipped with a twisted pair of shorting straps
installed. In case the bi-wire or bi-amp connection method is to be employed,
remove the straps from the terminals (referring to the figures below) and
retighten the terminals. If the amplifiers are connected to the Project Everest
DD66000 loudspeakers in the bi-wire or bi-amp mode with the shorting straps
still on, the amplifier outputs will be shorted, which could result in costly
amplifier damage when power is switched on.
