11.BI-AMPLIFICATION WITH CONVENTIONAL ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER

The MG3.6/R is arranged conveniently for bi-amplification. By adding an additional stereo amplifier and a crossover, you can enjoy the benefits of increased dynamic range and lower distortion.

1.Set your electronic crossover at the following points and slopes: Low Pass: 18dB per octave at 250Hz

High Pass: 6dB per octave at 200Hz

2.Connect the bass and mid/treble amplifiers directly to the speakers as shown in Figure 6. Do not use the MG3.6 external crossover box.

Figure 6

3.Since the effective crossover point for the MG3.6/R is approximately 250Hz, the power requirements for the bass midrange/treble amps are nearly the same. Therefore, use amplifiers of similar power rating. It is suggested to use amplifiers rated at 100 watts RMS or greater, into 8 ohms.
