Connection
Check that your amplifier is switched off before installing your loudspeakers. Failure to do so may result in speaker or amplifier damage. The diagram illustrates one loudspeaker only.
Conventional
Normal passive wiring requires shorting links to be in place between the treble and mid/bass sections. The positive (ribbed) cable from the amplifier positive (or red) terminal should connect with the positive (red) terminal on the loudspeaker. Similarly the negative (smooth) cable should connect the amplifier negative terminal (black) to the negative terminal (black) on the loudspeaker.
Bi-wiring
Two pairs of cables are connected to the amplifier terminals. One cable of each pair should connect to the treble section and one to the mid/bass section. The positive (ribbed) cables from the amplifier positive (or red) terminal should connect with the positive (red) terminals on the loudspeaker. Similarly the negative (smooth) cables in each pair should connect the amplifier negative terminal (black) to the negative terminals (black) on the loudspeaker.
Bi-amping
As regards the loudspeakers, wiring for
amplifier positive (red)
terminals should be connected via the ribbed cable to the positive (red) HF terminal on the speaker. Similarly, treble amplifier negative is connected to the negative (black) HF terminal on the speaker. Repeat this process with the mid/bass amplifier and LF terminal pair.
