7Connection Example 4: Stereo Complete Bi-amp Connection

1.Connect 2 Marantz SC-11S1 by F.C.B.S. for synchronized control.

For F.C.B.S. connection, connect with commercially available cables with monaural ⇔ monaural miniplugs or stereo ⇔ stereo miniplugs as described in F.C.B.S. (pg. 26) in the SC-11S1 instruction manual.

2.Refer to the SC-11S1 instruction manual (pg. 27) and set the SC-11S1 ID numbers.

3.Connect the analog output of the CD player etc. to the L ch input jacks of both pre-amps. As both pre-amps operate as monaural pre-amps in BI-AMP mode, do not use the R channel of the input jacks for the SC-11S1.

¶About Complete Bi-Amp

Proposed by Marantz, the complete bi-amp connection is an advanced technique that enhances sound quality.The low and mid/high amplifiers are separate and independent of the preamplifier, therefore interference between low and mid/high sounds is reduced to a minimum. As a result, a wide sound environment can be reproduced.

Note:

Speaker systems that can be connected using complete bi-amp must support bi-amp connections. Before connecting your speaker system, check the speaker system instruction manual, or contact the speaker manufacturer to check whether the speakers support bi-amp connections.
