Integra RDC-7.1 Using Bi-amp Connection, High range Tweeter Low range Woofer Right speaker

Connecting a Power Amplifier—Continued

Using Bi-amp Connection

When you use bi-wiring-enabled speakers for the front speakers, you can make the bi-amp connection. In this connection, the front and surround back speaker terminals on the power amplifier will be used for tweeter and woofer, respectively. This connection allows you to obtain high quality sound as well as maximum treble and bass performance from the tweeter and woofer, enriching your sound experience.

Caution:

When making the bi-amp connection, make sure to remove the shorting bars connecting the high range (Tweeter) and low range (Woofer) terminals.

For the settings on the bi-amp connection, see pages 92 and 93.
