5 CONNECTING
THE
AMPLIFIER(S)
The Epilogue 2 Signature and Epilogue 1 (or Epilogue 1 Signature) together may be powered using
any of the following combinations:
•
One single stereo amp (or a pair of monos) with one single Speaker Cable set.
•
One single stereo amp (or a pair of monos) with dual Speaker Cable.
•
Two stereo amp (or two pair of monos) with each a Speaker Cable set.
See the connection schematics below for more detail on each type of connection.
NOTE:
You may also use an electronic crossover to separate Epilogue 2 Signature and Epilogue 1
frequencies. In such a case one power amp will feed the Epilogue 1 and one will feed the Epilogue
2S. On the Epilogue 2S, move the large switch to "Direct", which disconnects the internal crossover
for the Epilogue 2 Signature drivers. In all other above cases, leave this switch to "STD".
ATTENTION:
Each Epilogue 2 Signature Speaker is delivered with two gold-plated jumpers on the bottom 5-way
binding posts. Leave those jumpers in place only if you use one single stereo amplifier (or a single
pair of mono amplifiers) with a single set of speaker cables. In all other cases, you have to remove
them before making any connection.
If you do not use Goldmund amplifiers, select amplifiers with sufficient speed and dynamic range to
do justice to the qualities of the Epilogue. A slow amplifier will not have the capability to properly hold
the ultra-fast drivers of the Epilogue.
You may now connect first the short coaxial cable between the Epilogue 1 and the Epilogue 2
Signature. On the Epilogue 2 Signature connect it to the connector marked “Epilogue 1”.
Other cable connections depend on the type of amplification and wiring chosen. Follow one of the
schematics below.
