Wiring your speakers
Single wiring
Single wiring is achieved via a single set of cables to the terminals on the back of
the loudspeaker. Internally the loudspeaker crossover guides the frequencies to the
appropriate driver/ tweeter. Low frequencies to the bass drivers, mid frequencies to the
mid/bass drivers and high frequencies to the tweeter.
NOTE: When using this method you must keep the terminal links in place.
Bi-wiring
Bi-wiring is accomplished by connecting separate pairs of loudspeaker cables to the
terminals on the loudspeaker from a single pair of connections on the amplifier. In the
case of the Platinum Series, the bottom terminals connect to the bass driver(s) and the
top terminals connect to the tweeter in 2 way loudspeakers, or the mid and tweeter in 3
way loudspeakers.
NOTE: When using this method you must REMOVE the terminal links.
Bi-amping
Bi-amping is the same as bi-wiring except you are introducing a second amplifier into
the equation.
In order to bi-amp you must connect a set of loudspeaker cables to the top terminals
on the loudspeaker from one amplifier and another set of loudspeaker cables to the
bottom terminals from the second amplifier.
NOTE: When using this method you must REMOVE the terminal links.
