Bi-wiring and Bi-amping
Bi-wiring or bi-amping improves the sound quality signicantly and is
highly recommended. Bi-wiring provides greater openness in the sound
image and reduces distortion. Bi-amping provides even greater openness
in the sound image and adds to increased dynamism.
Bi-wiring
The top terminal pair are connected to the high
frequency section of the crossover network, and
the bottom terminal pair are connected to the
bass section of the crossover network. When
employing bi-wiring or bi-amping, the metal
links between the terminals should be removed.
In the case of bi-wiring, the speaker cable is con-
nected via a terminal pair on each speaker to the
respective output terminals on the amplier -
and then the cable from the speaker's other ter-
minal pair is connected to the same output ter-
minals on the amplier (Fig. 3).
Bi-amping
We recommend using identical stereo ampli-
ers. One amplier supplies the speakers with
the signal for the high frequency section of the
crossover network, and the other amplier sup-
plies the bass section. The left speaker's bass ter-
minals (the bottom ones) should be connected
to the left channel on one of the ampliers, and
the right speaker's bass terminals to the right
channel on the same amplier. The same princi-
ple should be followed for connecting the high
frequency terminals of the speakers.
