Biamping connections

This diagram shows how to create a very efficient system with an external active crossover. The crossover will split your incoming preamp signal into two frequency ranges: one above and one below the crossover frequency.

True biamping is very efficient because each amplifier channel only receives and amplifies the range required for its driver. For example, in the diagram below, the right channel only amplifies the low frequencies, and the left channel only amplifies the high frequencies.

Make sure that you adjust the crossover frequency to suit your speakers. Check the speaker’s specifications.

An alternative connection method is to have one amplifier running the two woofers and the other running the two tweeters. This is useful if your amplifiers have different power ratings. Use the more powerful amplifier to run the woofers.
