Pioneer TAD-R1 Horizontal Bi-Amping, rear, one channel shown, Use for high, Use for low

Horizontal Bi-Amping

With this configuration, you may use different stereo amplifiers for the low- and high-frequency sections of the loudspeaker (e.g., tube amplifiers for high frequency and solid state for low frequency). Each channel of one amplifier drives the low-frequency section of each loudspeaker and each channel of the other amplifier drives the high-frequency section, as shown in Figure 11.

This method requires that both amplifiers have the same gain; otherwise an imbalance will be heard between the low- and high-frequency reproduction from the loudspeaker. If in doubt, please consult your TAD dealer.
