Bi-Amplification Connections; Vertical Bi-Amping - TAD CE1 Owner's Manual

Bi-Amplification Connections

When using a bi-amp configuration, a dedicated amplifier is connected to the LF input terminals (for woofer) and HF input terminals (for
CST). Two connection methods are possible, the "vertical bi-amp" method and "horizontal bi-amp" method.
WARNING
 Remove the shorting links before connecting speaker cables in bi-amplification connections. Failure to do so may result in
damage to your amplifiers.

Vertical Bi-Amping

With this configuration, identical stereo amplifiers are used for each speaker. One channel of each amplifier drives the low frequency
section and the other channel drives the high frequency section, as shown in Figure 4. Connect one set of speaker cables between the
amplifier's Channel 2 (or 1) terminals and the speaker's LF input terminals (for woofer). Then connect another set of speaker cables
between the amplifier's Channel 1 (or 2) terminals and the speaker's HF input terminals (for CST).
Take care to connect both (+) wires to the (+) amplifier terminals and both (–) wires to the (–) amplifier terminals.
