Biwiring

If your speakers can be biwired or biamped, they will have separate input terminals for the woofer section and the upper range.

Inputs

Tweeter

Woofer

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.

Each channel of the Sunfire Amplifier has two pairs of outputs. One 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 compared to conventional wiring.

Stereo Biwire Connections

Connect the amplifier’s right voltage source output to the right speaker’s woofer input terminals.

Connect the amplifier’s right current source output to the right speaker’s upper range input terminals.

Connect the amplifier’s left voltage source output to the left speaker’s woofer input terminals.

Connect the amplifier’s left current source output to the left speaker’s upper range input terminals.

Connect your preamplifier’s outputs to the amplifier’s corresponding inputs.
