Step 4: Bi-amping

Paso 4: Bi-amping

Bi-amping splits a mono signal into upper and lower frequency bands, and then assigns each frequency band to separate speaker cabinets. A subwoofer typically takes the low frequency range. By splitting the signal this way, the speakers work more efficiently, and you can achieve a cleaner overall sound.

To achieve the bi-amping hookup shown in this section of Operating Instructions, use the following procedure:

El sistema de bi-amplifi cación divide una señal mono en bandas de frecuencia superior e inferior y después asigna cada una de ellas a recintos acústicos distintos. Por lo general, en estos casos un subwoofer se ocupa del rango de frecuencias graves. Al dividir la señal de esta forma, los

altavoces actúan de forma más efi caz y se puede conseguir un sonido global más limpio.

Para conseguir la confi guración bi-amplifi cada que aparece en la página siguiente, realice los pasos siguientes:

La bi-amplifi cation sépare un signal mono en deux bandes de fréquences, et assigne ensuite chaque bande de fréquences à un canal d’amplifi cation, lui-même relié à ses propres enceintes. En général, les Subwoofers restituent le bas du spectre sonore. En séparant ainsi le signal audio, les enceintes fonctionnent de façon plus efficace, et vous obtenez un signal global mieux défi ni.

Pour câbler l’amplifi cateur en bi-amplifi cation, consultez l’illustration et procédez comme suit :

Run a 4-pole speaker cable with professional twist-locking connectors from OUTPUT 1 to the subwoofer. (The subwoofer gets its low-

frequency signal of Channel 1 from poles 2+ and 2-, while the middle and upper frequency ranges of the signal from Channel 2 use poles 1+ and 1-.)

Conecte un cable de altavoz de 4 polos dotado de conectores profesionales con fi jación de tipo bayoneta desde la salida

OUTPUT 1 al subwoofer. (El subwoofer recibe su señal de bajas frecuencias del canal 1 desde los polos 2+ y 2-, mientras que las frecuencias medias y agudas de la señal del canal 2 usan los polos 1+ y 1-).

Utilisez un cordon d’enceinte à quatre pôles avec une fi che professionnelle à verrouillage entre la sortie OUTPUT 1 et le Subwoofer (le Subwoofer est alimenté par le signal basse fréquence de l’ampli 1, délivré par les pôles 2+ et 2-, alors que les fréquences supérieures à 100 Hz sont alimentées par le canal 2 et les pôles 1+ et 1-).
