Cabling And Connections - Vivid Audio GIYA Owner's Manual

CABLING AND CONNECTIONS

We recommend that you make and secure all connections before turning on any power to
avoid short-circuiting the amplifiers.
We don't try to recommend any particular cable because it is an ever-changing field but we
would advise that you get something reasonably thick, say 2.5 mm for less than 5m lengths
2
and 4 mm for longer lengths.

GIyA is provided with four terminals to permit the use of bi-wiring or bi-amping shown in fig.2.
the mid and high frequency crossover is connected to the right hand pair of terminals (as
viewed from the back) and the low frequency to the other allowing the user to have separate
wires feeding each section connected to a single amplifier output, in the case of bi-wiring, or
two independent amplifiers in the case of bi-amping. this latter case even gives rise to the
possibility of mixing different types of amplifier for the two ranges but be careful to match the
gain and polarity of the two if you are to avoid messing up the basic frequency response of the
loudspeaker. If you are in any doubt about this you really should talk to your dealer.
