An alternative connection method is shown here. This arrangement
has the added advantage of allowing you to place each amplifier
close to the loudspeaker it is feeding, thus enabling you to connect
them together with short cables.
Connect the right channel output of a preamplifier (such as our
PA20R) to
INPUT left
on one of your 100Ps and the left channel
output of the preamplifier to
INPUT left
on the other 100P.
On each 100P connect
OUTPUT left
to
OUTPUT right
.
On each amplifier, connect one of the stereo outputs to the high-
frequency driver and the other to the low-frequency driver.
Some high-quality loudspeakers have separate drivers for the
middle frequency range as well as high and low. In such cases,
it may be possible (for details refer to your loudspeaker
instructions) to run separate cables for each frequency range
to tri-wire the loudspeakers.
If you wish to do this, you will need to connect two wires to one
terminal. We recommend that you use stackable BFA plugs for
this purpose. These are available from your retailer.
The arrangements described above, and on previous pages, are
only suggestions and do not cover all the connection possibilities
for amplifiers and loudspeakers.
If you want to expand your audio system, please contact your
retailer who will be happy to discuss your specific requirements.
