CONNECTING
THE LOUDSPEAKERS
Bi-Wiring
Most
of
the
audio
signal
going
to
the
speakers drives
the
bass units.
Where
one
cable feeds both bass and treble units, this heavy bass current can modulate the high
frequencies. Using separate cables
for
treble
and
bass units reduces
intermodulation
effects and improves headroom and clarity. This technique
of
wiring
is
known
as
Bi-Wiring.
To
bi-wire, you will need to install two lengths
of
twin core cable between the amplifier and
each loudspeaker.
Unscrew each
terminal
a few turns
and
remove the metal straps. The
upper
pair
of
terminals on the crossover panel feeds the treble units and the lower terminals feed the
bass unit. Connect the cables between the
amplifier
and the loudspeakers
as
indicated
above and retighten all the terminals securely.
Where feasible, we strongly advocate bi-wiring.
Bi-Amplifying
(Bi-Amping)
By
connecting each loudspeaker drive unit to
its
own dedicated amplifier the advantages
of
Bi-Wiring can be extended. If you own two identical stereo power amplifiers, you may wish
to try bi-amping your
QUAD
loudspeakers. For further details please consult your dealer.
USE
IN
A
HOME
THEATRE
SYSTEM
Centre
The
Quad
SC
is
a dedicated centre channel loudspeaker, voiced
to
blend seamlessly with the
other loudspeakers in the S Series, though it can be used with any high performance
loudspeakers, including
Quad
ESLs
. When partnered with the
Quad
S4
or
S5
as
front
channels, and the S
l,
S2
as
rear effects channels, a
Home
Theatre
system
of
outstanding
performance can be built up.
The
S l
is
a versatile small loudspeaker.
It
can be used
as
the front channels,
its
diminutive
size
makes it ideal
for
use
as
the rear effects channel in multichannel systems.
It
can be used
for
the front channels and
its
diminutive
size.
The
connections
for
a typical
Home
Theatre system are shown below. We suggest that the
Front and Centre Channels are bi-wired.
The
rear effects speakers should be connected
using the standard connection
as
described above, though you may bi-wire them if you
prefer.
