System B basic bi‐amp system using IKON iK42
This system is similar to System A running a stereo pair of THV (or THH) bi‐amplified. This time we have used an iK42 amplifier
from the IKON range. This makes system wiring extremely simple. First we can disregard the loudspeaker processor as the
amplifier has on‐board DSP and factory presets are available in Vu‐Net to add the correct parameters to each channel. Secondly,
the amplifier has four channels so only a single amp is required to drive a stereo pair of THV (or THH), in addition the output
wiring combines amplifier channels onto single NL4 connectors so output 2 is available on both pins 1+/‐ on channel 2 NL4 and
also on pins 2+/‐ on output channel 1 NL4. Likewise, output channel 4 appears on channel 4 NL4 and channel 3 NL4 on pins 2+/.
This makes driving bi‐amped cabinets very simple as a standard 4‐core NL4 speaker cable can be used straight from the amplifier
to the THV. No special speaker cables or patch panels are necessary.
