To configure a bi-amp stereo system, you need two
M-5000 units.
The M-5000 features two built-in amplifiers. Each of
these amps is connected to the mid/high-frequency
speaker driver (tweeter) and the low-frequency driver
(woofer) on the speaker of the corresponding channel.
You need to use speakers that feature two sets of
terminals (total of four) that allow each speaker to be split
into two sections (low-frequency and mid/high-frequency
ranges). Bi-amping speakers can prevent the back flush of
EMF (electromotive force) generated by the woofer from
affecting the signal, resulting in improved sound quality
in some cases.
Connect the input source to the L-channel input jacks on
both M-5000 units.
