AKURATE 242, 225 and 212 English

Single-wiring Tri-wiring or tri-amping

Position of link strips if single-wiring (i.e. using a single pair of cables from one stereo power amplifier).

Suggested position of link strips if tri-wiring (i.e. using three pairs of cables from one power amplifier) or tri-amping (i.e. using one pair of cables from each of three power amplifier channels).

●Never use the strips to link positive (+) and minus (-) terminals together.

●Don’t connect more than one strip per terminal.

●Bass quality will be impaired if you link LOWER BASS and BASS BOOST together or UPPER BASS, LOWER BASS and BASS BOOST together.

Quad-amping and beyond

Improved audio quality can be obtained by connecting separate power amplifiers to each pair of speaker terminals (bar the BASS BOOST terminals, see next page). However, for the best audio performance your AV/hi-fi system should be converted from running passively to running actively (see AKTIV operation section).
