Tri-wiring or tri-amping

Suggested position of link strips if tri-wiring (i.e. using three pairs of cables
from one power amplifier) or tri-amping (i.e. using one pair of cables from each
of three power amplifier channels).

Important notes on using the link strips

The above configurations are only suggestions; many others are possible. If you
are trying other setups please bear in mind the following points.
●NNeevveerruse the strips to link positive (+) and minus (-) terminals together.
●Don’t connect more than one strip per terminal.
●Bass quality will be impaired if you link LOWER BASS and BASS BOOST
together or UPPER BASS, LOWER BASS and BASS BOOST together.

Quad-amping and beyond

Improved audio quality can be obtained by connecting separate power
amplifiers to each pair of speaker terminals (bar the BASS BOOST terminals,
see next page). However, for the best audio performance your AV/hi-fi system
should be converted from running passively to running actively (see

Single-wiring

Position of link strips if single-wiring (i.e. using a single pair of cables from one
stereo power amplifier).

Bi-wiring or bi-amping

Suggested position of link strips if bi-wiring (i.e. using two pairs of cables from
one power amplifier) or bi-amping (i.e. using one pair of cables from each of two
power amplifier channels).
