Examples follow:
Standard. For the standard operation of a Resolution loudspeaker, using one
set of speaker cables per channel, leave the jumper connecting the positive
and negative binding posts in place. For each loudspeaker, make the positive
and negative connections to the binding posts, and then connect the cable to
the corresponding terminals on the left and right channels of the amplifier.
Bi-wire. To bi-wire a Resolution loudspeaker using two sets of loudspeaker
cable per channel, first remove the jumper connecting the positive and nega-
tive binding posts. For each loudspeaker, first make the positive and negative
connections to the top binding post, and then connect the cable to the corre-
sponding terminals on the left and right channels of the amplifier. Next make
the positive and negative connections to the bottom binding post for each
loudspeaker, and then connect the cable to the corresponding terminals on
the left and right channels of the amplifier.
Bi-amp. To bi-amp a Resolution loudspeaker using two sets of speaker cable
and two amplifier channels per loudspeaker, first remove the jumper connect-
ing the positive and negative binding posts. For each loudspeaker, make the
positive and negative connections to the top binding post, and then connect
the cable to the corresponding terminals on the left and right channels of the
first amplifier. Next make the positive and negative connections to the bottom
binding post for each loudspeaker, and then connect the cable to the corre-
sponding terminals on the left and right channels of the second amplifier.

QUICK SETUP GUIDE
Thank you for your Resolution Series loudspeaker purchase.
The Resolution 1 and Resolution 2 loudspeakers are suited for use either in 2-chan-
nel systems or as the main left and right speakers in a multi-channel home theater
set-up. The Resolution 3 and 4 loudspeakers work well in small systems or as sur-
round speakers in a multi-channel home theater system. The Resolution C center
channel speaker features nearly the same driver complement as the Resolution 2,
and can be operated full-range.
The Resolution 1, 2, 3, and C loudspeakers feature heavily braced enclosures with
2-inch thick baffles for superior vibration damping. Driver complements are matched
to the enclosure and customized to Krell's specifications. All crossovers are highly
current-capable and are designed by Krell.
