BI-WIRING/BI-AMPING
INSTRUCTIONS
Many
modern
loudspeakers
are
equipped
with
four
connection
terminals.
This
provides
direct
access
to
the
high
frequency
and
low
frequency
filter
networks
and
associated
drive
units
within
the
loudspeaker.
Overall
performance
can
be
enhanced
by
making
use
of
these
separate
connections.
WARNING:
Do
not
make
any
connections
to
your
amplifier
while
it
is
switched
on
and
connected
to
the
mains
supply.
Please
check
all
connections
thoroughly
before
attempting
to
re-connect
the
mains
power
supply.
Always
ensure
that
the
volume
control
on
your
amplifier
is
set
to
a
minimum
before
switching
on.
BI-WIRING
Bi-wiring
uses
four
conductors,
one
for
each
terminal,
to
enhance
dramatically
the
performance
of
your
loudspeakers.
Bi-wiring
eliminates
the
signal
distortion
arising
from
the
low
and
high
frequency
currents
interacting
with
one
another
within
a
single
cable,
as
used
in
conventionally
wired
systems.
HOW
TO
BI-WIRE
YOUR
LOUDSPEAKERS
1.
Remove
the
shorting
links
from
each
of
the
red
and
black
terminal
pairs
on
the
rear
of
your
loudspeakers.
2.
You
will
need
two
lengths
of
loudspeaker
cable
per
loudspeaker
(which
may
be
joined
at
the
amplifier
end)
or
a
suitably
terminated
cable
set
capable
of
being
used
for
bi-wiring
in
one
length.
3.
Connect
the
cables
as
per
one
of
the
diagrams
opposite,
dependant
on
your
cable
wiring,
ensuring
correct
polarity
at
all
times.
The
positive
(+)
connections
on
the
right
loudspeaker
must
go
to
tiie
positive
(+)
connections
on
the
right
channel
of
the
amplifier
and
the

(-)
connections
on
the
right
loudspeaker
must
go
to
the
negative
