Bi- or Tri-Wiring

The concept of bi- or tri-wiring is that higher sonic performance (greater inner detail, higher definition, increased transparency and improved depth) is achieved by utilizing two or three sets of wires to connect each loud- speaker to its respective channel of your amplifier or receiver.

If you choose this method of hook-up, follow these instructions:

For bi-wiring: (See diagram # 2) Remove both the jumpers between the mid and high terminals on the speaker. Then take care to ensure that both the red (+) high and red (+) mid terminals of the speaker are connected to the red (+) terminal of the center channel of your amplifier (each using one conductor of each of the two sets of wires for the center channel) and that both the black (-) high and black (-) mid terminals of the your speaker are connected to the black (-) terminal of the center channel of your amplifier using the other conductor of each of the two sets of wires for the center channel. Utilize the same hook-up procedure for the left and right channels if you are using C/L/R 2500s on these channels.
