Your 125M is a single-channel amplifier and can only accept a
mono input. If you want to use the125M for stereo, you will need
one for each channel.
Connect the left output of a preamplifier (such as our PA20R) to
INPUT
on one of the 125Ms and the right output on the
preamplifier to
INPUT
on the other 125M.
In this system, it is best to place each 125M as near as possible to
the loudspeaker it is feeding. You will get better sound quality if
the loudspeaker leads are short.
With many high-quality loudspeakers, you can make separate
connections to the high- and low-frequency drivers
(1)
. In such
cases, you may want to run separate cables for the high and low
frequencies as shown in the diagram. To do this you will need to
remove the links, provided as part of the loudspeaker, which
connect the drivers. Please refer to your loudspeaker instructions
to find out how to do this.
Bi-wiring provides separate paths for high- and low-frequency
signals, improving the sound quality in many cases.

1. The ‘driver’ is the mechanism inside the case of the loudspeaker which actually
makes the sound. Most high-quality loudspeakers have drivers for high, low and
often middle frequencies and the capability to connect them separately.
However, the lack of this facility is not necessarily a sign of low quality (as some
of the finest loudspeakers in the world have proved)
