Connection
Check that your amplifier is switched off before installing your
loudspeaker. Failure to do so may result in speaker or amplifier damage.
The diagram illustrates one loudspeaker only.
Bi-amping
Bi-amping adds a second amplifier to the system. One power amplifier
drives the treble/mid section of both loudspeakers; a second drives the
bass sections. Note that the shorting links must be removed.
Failure to do so will result in damaging the amplifiers.
Conventional
Normal passive wiring requires shorting links to be in place between the
treble/mid and bass sections. The positive (ribbed) cable from the
amplifier positive (or red) terminal should connect with the positive
(red) terminal on the loudspeaker. Similarly the negative (smooth) cable
should connect the amplifier negative terminal (black) to the negative
terminal (black) on the loudspeaker.
As regards the loudspeakers, wiring for bi-amping is achieved in much
the same way as bi-wiring. Treble/mid amplifier positive (red) terminals
should be connected via the ribbed cable to the positive (red) HF
terminal on the speaker. Similarly, treble/mid amplifier negative is
connected to the negative (black) HF terminal on the speaker. Repeat
this process with the bass amplifier and LF terminal pair.
Bi-wiring
Bi-wiring separates the bass and treble ground paths in the loudspeaker
and offer sound quality advantages. An extra set of cables is required.
Note that the shorting links are removed between the treble/mid and
bass sections and should be stored for later use if conventional, passive
driving is required.
After wiring up
Lower the volume to the
minimum, switch on the
amplifier, select the signal
source and then raise the
volume to the
Two pairs of cables are connected to the amplifier terminals. One cable
of each pair should connect to the treble/mid section and one to the
bass section. The positive (ribbed) cables from the amplifier positive (or
red) terminal should connect with the positive (red) terminals on the
loudspeaker. Similarly the negative (smooth) cables in each pair should
connect the amplifier negative terminal (black) to the negative terminals
(black) on the loudspeaker.
