Bi-Wire Connections

In a bi-wiring connection, you independently plug in the loudspeakers running from the amp to their respective high- and low-frequency plugs. This results in the CST driver and bass drivers being independently connected directly to the amplifier, offering you the freedom to optimize the cable type for each of the drivers. Connect one set of wires to the bottom set of binding posts (bass driver-specific network). Then connect a second set of wires to the top binding posts (CST-specific network). Next, connect both sets of wires to the appropriate terminals on your amplifier. Take care to connect both (+) wires to the (+) amplifier terminals and both (–) wires to the (–) amplifier terminals, as shown in Figure 9.
