Monitor Audio platinum series II User Manual

Bi-Wiring
Bi-wiring is accomplished by connecting separate pairs of speaker cables to the terminals on the loudspeaker from
a single pair of connections on the amplier. In the case of the Platinum II Series, the LF terminals connect to the
bass driver(s) and the HF terminals connect to the tweeter (in 2-way loudspeakers), or the mid and tweeter in 2.5 and
3-way speakers.
NOTE: When using this method the terminal links MUST be removed.
Bi-Amping
Bi-Amping is the same as Bi-Wiring except that you are introducing a second amplier into the equation.
In order to Bi-Amp you must connect a set of speaker cables to the HF terminals on the loudspeaker from one amplier
and another set of speaker cables to the LF terminals from the second amplier.
NOTE: When wiring this method the terminal links MUST be removed.

Fundamentally a loudspeaker crossover varies the impedance seen by the speaker and by the power amplier. The
situation is such that when the full range musical signal is applied to the terminals of a full-range speaker system,
the bass driver(s) only receives low frequency signals, the mid driver receives the mid band frequency signals and the
