Bi-wiring and bi-amping loudspeakers
Before you start |
|
WARNING: Do not make any connections to your amplifier while it is switched on or connected to the mains supply.
Before switching on please check all connections thoroughly, making sure bare wires or cables are not touching the amplifier chassis (which could cause short circuits) and you have connected positive (+) to positive and negative
Always ensure that the volume control on your amplifier is set to minimum before starting these procedures.
Bi-wiring your loudspeakers
You will need:
Speakers – with four input terminals each: these will be marked HF (High Frequency) and LF (Low Frequency).
Loudspeaker cables – two pairs of cables per loudspeaker (which may be joined at the amplifier end if your amplifier has only one pair of output terminals per channel), or a suitably terminated cable set (a loom, probably prepared by your dealer and capable of being used for
How to bi-wire loudspeakers
1.Remove the terminal links on the rear of your loudspeakers
WARNING: This step is essential or damage to your amplifier may result which is not covered under warranty.
2.Connect the cables as shown in the diagram below, ensuring correct polarity at all times.

The performance of your system can be further enhanced over that achieved with
Connect the integrated amplifier to the high frequency
(HF) terminals and connect the power amplifier to the low frequency (LF) terminals.
You will need:
Speakers – with four input terminals each (as with bi- wiring): these will be marked HF (High Frequency) and LF (Low Frequency).
Two amplifiers – one of these would be the A70 and the other an Arcam power amplifier (e.g. P90).
Loudspeaker cables – two pairs of cables per loudspeaker or a suitably terminated cable set (a loom, probably prepared by your dealer and capable of being used for bi- amping in one length).
Interconnect cables – one pair of high quality interconnect cables.
How to set up a bi-amped system
1.Remove the terminal links on the rear of your loudspeakers.
WARNING: This step is essential or damage to your amplifier may result which is not covered under warranty.
2.Connect the cables as shown in the diagram below, ensuring correct polarity at all times.
3.Use the interconnect cables to connect the PRE OUT sockets of the A70 to the corresponding AUDIO IN sockets of the power amplifier.
