TANIT
1.5. Operation modes
The TANIT system can be connected with the following configurations:
i. TANIT Standalone
ii. TANIT SUB Bi-amp mode/passive
iii. CONNECTION THROUGH composite CONFIGURATION
iv. TANIT ON TANIT SUB FULL RANGE PASSIVE
TANIT Standalone is a 2-way design with a built-in passive crossover network so a TANIT loudspeaker
can be operated with a properly configured amplifier channel in Tecnare amplifier combination.
TANIT SUB can run in two ways: Bi-amp or passive mode. The TANIT SUB can be switched from Bi-AM-
PING to PASSIVE by using the switch located in the back.
The subwoofer features an internal passive crossover network. Running the TANIT SUB in passive mode
makes it ideally suited for working together TANIT. This way, you achieve an absolutely balanced sound charac-
teristic. However, if you select the BI-AMPING mode offers several advantages: lower distortion, greater flexibility
of signal transmissions as well as an improved overall performance of your system.
Only operate Tecnare Loudspeakers with a correctly configured Tecnare amplifier, otherwise there
is a risk of damaging the loudspeaker components.
PIN ASSIGNMENT IN TANIT SUB
As we have described in the previous section, if you run the subwoofer in bi-amp mode the subwoofer
signal will drive to pins 2. Pins 1 of the input are connected to pins 1 of the link connector, and can be used to
loop the signal through to TANIT. Moreover, in this way, with TANIT on top of TANIT SUB, “
Autoconnect”
is ena-
bling and signal is routed through the subwoofer connector place on the top. It will be the

Composite Configuration
mode.
If you run the TANIT SUB in passive mode the subwoofer signal will drive to pins 1 +/-. In this way, the
signal will feed TANIT SUB through a low-pass passive crossover network and to TANIT through a high-pass filter
using the Autoconnect connector. Pins 2+/- serves as a signal link. It will be the

Passive
mode.
Note that when switching the TANIT SUB to Bi-amp mode, the speaker input signal changes to pins
2 +/-. The 1 +/- pins now work as a loop channel.
CAUTION:
never switch the operation mode if the TANIT SUB loudspeakers are wired
to an active signal source.
CAUTION:
Never connect the output signals of different power amplifiers to both paral
-
lel inputs at the same time. This may permanently damage your setup.
