Bi-Wiring
Bi-wiring the speakers can offer benefits for high
performance audio systems. This method
involves connecting two sets of wires between
the amplifier and the speakers. You must first
remove the terminal straps by loosing the
terminal knobs and sliding the straps to the side.
Be sure to use equal lengths of the appropriate
wire for bi-wiring the speakers. Consult your
STARKESOUND dealer for different cable options.
See illustration for amplifier to speakers
connections.
Bi-Amplification
Bi-amplified speakers can achieve the highest
level of performance for the listener. This type of
system employs two separate amplifiers to drive
the speakers. The first amplifier drives the
midrange/tweeter array, while the second drives
the bass speakers. Similarly with bi-wiring,
one must remove the jumper straps from the
connection terminals. Once this has been done
you simply connect the speakers as described in
the illustration.
Note: In any case NEVER apply an external
crossover of any sort, whether its passive or
active. This will result in unwanted interference
with the phase and frequency response of the
speakers. The internal crossover circuitry is an
integral part of the speakers and necessary to
the proper response and function of its
array and overall performance.
Note: The amplifiers used to bi-amplify
the speakers must be identical.
