CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS TO A STEREO SYSTEM
If both legs are operated through separate output stages, it is possible to choose amplifi ers that
allow the transmis-sion of high, midrange or low frequencies. With separate volume controls for
both legs, it will be easier to provide a sound balance that offers perfect adaption to the living room
environment (room acoustics).
Please note, that different models of output stages may not provide the same volume when fed by
one source through a y adapter.
The reason for this lies in different amplifi cation factors that occur between the input and the output
levels. To ensure, that the sound balance will not be defi ned at random, the amplifi ers provide level
controls that enable perfect adjustment of the desired sound balance.
It would be advantageous to choose a high-quality amplifi er for one of the two stereo output
stages.
Its volume control can be used to adjust the desired sound balance. The other output stage would
be a puristic element that does not offer any adjustment options.
It is important to mention, that there must be prestages for adjusting the volume and programmes.
If the prestage provides only one output, a standard cable for the Y adapter can be used.
Bi-Wiring
One pair of connecting jacks is used for the connection to the network of the midrange/tweeter. The other pair is
used for the connection to the network of the woofer. Due to separate wiring (Bi Wiring), a decoupling of the two legs
is obtained. This reduces cross-talking between the midrange/tweeter leg and the woofer leg.
There are different types of connecting cables that can be used. For example, low-inductance cables are suitable for
the treble area and particularly large cables are suitable for the woofer area.

Bi-Amping
If both legs are operated through separate output stages, it is possible to choose amplifiers that allow the transmis-
sion of high, midrange or low frequencies. With separate volume controls for both legs, it will be easier to provide a
