Wla-210X Passive & Bi-Amp Modes - Wharfedale Pro WLA Series User Manual

WLA-210X - PASSIVE AND BI-AMP MODES
A switch on the WLA-210X input panels selects between either of two operating modes:
Passive mode (single amplifier) or Bi-amp mode (separate low and high frequency am-
plifiers). In passive mode, the internal crossovers of the WLA-210X loudspeakers divide
the audio signal into the separate frequency ranges for each driver. In Bi-amp mode
separate (discrete) amplifiers are used to power the low frequency and high frequency
drivers.
The Wharfedale Pro Versadrive series of signal processors are ideal for passive and
bi-amp mode operation and control.
Note - The WLA-210X subwoofer does not have an internal crossover. This function
must be supplied by external electronic devices such as a Wharfedale Pro Versadrive.
Its important to understand the advantages of the different operating modes. Wrong
operation will result in poor sound and, in the worst case, damage to the loudspeaker
drivers themselves.
