CONNECTION OF THE LOUDSPEAKERS
If a loudspeaker is to be connected with "bi-wiring", both pairs of loudspeaker clamps may be used at
the same time. In contrast to connection of the loudspeakers with one loudspeaker cable each, with bi-
wiring a suitable loudspeaker is connected via two separate two-wire loudspeaker cables or one four-wire
loudspeaker cable to the pair of output clamps on the main amplifier. This doubles the cabling required
but for many combinations of loudspeakers and amplifiers this improves the sound quality. Please note,
that in this case both speaker outputs ("SPEAKER A" and "SPEAKER B" (3)) must be activated.

If you are using ready made loudspeaker cables with 4 mm banana plugs, all you need to do is connect
the two plugs on each loudspeaker cable end to the two associated speaker connectors. Turn the connec-
tor screws clockwise to fasten them.
If you want to use speaker cables equipped with spade lug connectors, every connector screw must be
opened by turning counter clockwise. After that, the lug must be moved under the screw head. Then, turn
the screw clockwise to fasten the lug to the connector. To avoid damages to the amplifier, make sure the
connection is tight and no bare metal from the cable lug connector makes contact with the rear panel or
with another terminal.

Before changing the system to bi-wiring, the metal
bridges fitted to the loudspeaker's double connector in
normal operation must be removed. Only loudspeakers
with these bi-wiring terminals are suitable. Filtering of the
entire frequency range occurs in the now separated loud-
speaker crossover networks. One cable is to be connec-
ted to the loudspeaker's sockets provided for the higher
frequencies (treble) and the other with the ones for the
lower frequencies (bass) for each loudspeaker. Make
sure that the polarity is correct. Your specialist dealer will
provide you with advice and assistance.
