Biwiring

In a biwire system, each loudspeaker is driven by one amplifier channel, but separate speaker wire pairs are used for the woofer and ribbon connections.

Make sure the bridge clips be- tween the woofer and ribbon posts

are removed from the loudspeak- ers when you want to biamp or

biwire them. If not, this may cause damage to the amplifier.

Biwiring with a Sunfire Theater Grand Amplifier

Connect the amplifier’s right front voltage source output to the right loudspeaker’s woofer input terminals. Use a separate pair of speaker cables to connect the amplifier’s right front current source output to the ribbon input terminals.

Conventional Biwiring

The example below shows the connec- tions for biwiring a right front speaker from a single output binding post pair.

The front channels of Sunfire's Theater Grand Amplifiers each have two pairs of outputs that can be used to biwire your speakers. The idea is to use the voltage source to drive the woofers, and the current source to drive the ribbon. This will offer improved perfor- mance.

This example shows the connections for biwiring a right front speaker.

Amplifier outputs

Connect the amplifier terminals to the loudspeaker's woofer input ter- minals, and use a separate speaker cable pair to connect the same amplifier terminals to the ribbon input terminals.
