between the mid and lo terminals should be removed.
Bi-amped operation will allow the use of two lower powered amps, rather than
a single high powered amp when the VH3208 is driven passively, so might be
useful when upgrading from smaller monitors, or, for example, a
specialist/esoteric valve amp. is required to drive the mid & hi drivers.
4.2.4 Tri-Amped Operation
If the speakers are to be run tri-amped 3 amplifier channels will be used to
drive each monitor. One amp. channel should be connected to the terminal
marked Hi, another channel should be connected to the terminal marked Mid
and the third channel should be connected to the terminal marked Lo. All the
links should be removed. The same comments regarding the use of lower
powered/specialist amps as noted under bi-amped operation in the above
paragraph applies.

and
Links between Lo & Mid removed
Amplifier 1 should drive the mid & hi. The connection from this amplifier should be to either
the terminal marked Mid or Hi and the link between the terminals should be kept in place
Amplifier 2 will drive the lo. The connection from this amplifier should be to the terminal
marked Lo and the link between terminals marked Mid & Lo should be removed.
With both twin cables the hot or positive wire should go to the (+) red terminal and the cold
or negative wire to the (-) black terminal.

Amplifier 1 should drive the hi and the connection from this amplifier should be to the terminal
marked Hi. Amplifier 2 should drive the mid and the connection from this amplifier should be to
terminal marked Mid. Amplifier 3 should drive the lo and the connection from this amplifier should be to
terminal marked Lo. All terminal links should be removed. With the three twin cables the hot or positive
wire should go to the (+) red terminal and the cold or negative wire to the (-) black terminal.
