BI-WIRE CONNECTION
All Studio 5 series speaker connector panels have two sets of input connectors that are joined by metal jumper
bars. The upper set of connectors is for the compression-driver/horn assembly, and the lower set of connectors is
for the woofer(s). This arrangement allows you to bi-wire the speakers using a single stereo amplifier or using two
stereo amplifiers. Bi-wiring can offer performance advantages and more flexibility in power-amplifier selection over a
conventional single-wire connection.
Before bi-wiring the speakers, remove the jumper bars.
