Bi-Amp Connection - TAD M4300 Owner's Manual

TAD-M4300

Bi-AMP connection

Bi-AMPing is a connection method in which two sets of
amplifiers and speaker cables are used; one is connected
to the speaker's Low frequency and the other to the High
frequency inputs.
Do not turn on the power switches of this unit and other
'
connected components until all connections and settings
are completed.
When using this method, use only speakers that support
'
Bi-AMP connections, and be sure to set the Bi-AMP
selector switch to "Bi AMP".
Connect the unit's speaker output terminal pairs
'
outputting the same signal (SPEAKER L terminals 1 and
2, and SPEAKER R terminals 1 and 2) to the respective
speaker's High and Low terminals.
CAUTION
The Pre-Amplifier is connected to this unit's INPUT L
'
connector 1 and INPUT R connector 1. When using Bi-
AMP connections, signals from INPUT L connector 2 and
INPUT R connector 2 are not output to the speakers.

Note (TAD-M4300)
Since SPEAKER L/R terminals 1 and 2 produce the same
output signal, they can be connected to either of the
speaker's High or Low terminals.
CAUTION
(TAD-M4300)
When making Bi-AMP connections, be sure to remove
'
the speakers' High-Low short bar connectors to
avoid adverse influence on the amplifier. Consult the
operating instructions of your speaker system for further
information.
