IIIp Connection
ONE: Standard Connection for MONOLITH IIIp.
Please take note of the jumpers installed across the binding posts of the IIIp INTER- FACE. These jumpers attach the high-pass and the low-pass sections of the interface together. Leaving these in place, connect the (+) wire from your amplifier to either of the red AMPLIFIER SIGNAL binding posts of the Interface and the (-) wire to either of the black posts. Next, connect the IIIp INTERFACE to the MONOLITH III with the provided cables. See Figure 1.

TWO: Bi-wire Connection for the MONOLITH IIIp.
This method of connection replaces the jumpers installed across the binding posts of the IIIp INTERFACE with individual runs of speaker wire from your amplifier. This doubles the signal carrying conductors from the amplifier to the speaker thus, direct- coupling each portion of the crossover to the amplifier.
To bi-wire you must first remove the jumpers from the IIIp INTERFACE. Connect one set of wires to the HI+ and HI- binding posts of the IIIp INTERFACE. Then connect a second set of wires to the LO+ and LO- binding posts. Next, connect both sets of wires to the appropriate terminals on your amplifier. See Figure 2. Please take care to connect both (+) wires to the (+) amplifier terminals and both (-) wires to the (-) amplifier terminals. This is known as a parallel connection.
