CONNECTIONS

Connection Example 3: Complete Bi-Amp Connection for Stereo Playback Using 2 PM-15S1

The speaker system must support a bi-amp connection, therefore to determine whether your speakers do or not, check in the instruction manual that came with your speakers or contact the manufacturer. The two PM-15S1s are connected by FCBS. For the FCBS connection, prepare 2 portable audio connection cables with monaural ⇔ monaural miniplugs or stereo ⇔ stereo miniplugs as described “ABOUT FCBS” on pg. 16. Set the ID numbers for the PM-15S1 units as explained “HOW TO SET ID” on pg. 19. When the PM-15S1 of ID 1 is operated, that of ID 2 will operate in sync.
