Biwiring

If your speakers can be biwired or biamped, they will have completely separate input terminals for the woofer section and the upper range. See the speaker diagram and discussion on page 12.

Make sure that any links between the woofer and upper range posts are removed from the speakers

when you want to biamp or biwire them. Consult your speaker owner’s manual for details.

The center, front left and front right channels each have two pairs of outputs which can be used to biwire your speakers. The idea is to use the voltage source to drive the woofer, and the current source to drive the upper range. This will offer improved performance and still allow you to connect five speakers for your home theater system.

Page 15 shows the input and output connections for biwiring a left front speaker and a right front speaker.

Output connections

Connect the amplifier’s right front voltage source output to the right speaker’s woofer input terminals and connect the amplifier’s right front current source output to the right speaker’s upper range input terminals.

Connect the amplifier’s left front voltage source output to the left speaker’s woofer input terminals and connect the amplifier’s left front current source output to the left speaker’s upper range input terminals.

If your center speaker can be biamped, then connect it to the center channel outputs in the same way as above. Otherwise, connect it as shown on pages 10 and 11.

Connect the rear speakers as shown on pages 10 and 11.

Input connections

Connect your preamplifier’s outputs to the amplifier’s corresponding input jacks. If your preamplifier has XLR outputs, use these wherever possible.
