Configuration

Monitor Audio loudspeakers are extremely versatile and can accommodate a number of wiring configurations to optimise performance.

All Monitor Audio loudspeakers are supplied configured for use in single wired mode. This can be changed by removing the links between the two sets of terminal posts on the recessed panel at the rear of the speaker.

In single-wired mode, a single amplifier drives each loudspeaker through a single run of cable.

Single wiring: ensure the links between the two positive terminals and the links between the two negative terminals are in place before connecting any cables. Note: the style of the links may differ depending on model (Fig. 5).

Bi-wiring: by removing the links and using two runs of cable on each side (left and right channels), the speakers’ drive units are fed individually and sound quality is improved. (Fig. 6).

Important: the terminal links must be removed before connecting the speakers when bi-wiring.
