corner.

 

 

 

If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed further away from the walls, the inward angle may be increased by upto 40%, although this may restrict the width of the optimum listening position. As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of programme before finalising the position of your speakers.

Using separate cables for treble and bass units in a Bi-wiring configuration reduces intermodulation effects and improves headroom and clarity. To Bi-wire, you will need to install two lengths of twin core cable between the amplifier and each loud- speaker.

Unscrew each terminal a few turns and remove the metal straps.

Connect the cables between the amplifier and the loud- speakers as indicated and re-tighten all the terminals securely.

Note: Some amplifiers have two pairs of output terminals to facilitate bi-wiring but this is not essential. The advan- tages of bi-wiring are fully retained if your amplifier has only one pair of output ter- minals per channel (as in the illustration).

Bi-amplified – two amplifiers.

One drives each section.

Note that the wiring link bars are removed.

Important Note, please make sure that heavy multi-standard cables are well connected and clamped. Single loose strands arcing can cause a noise in the woofers like a faulty speaker.
