Page 19: Biamping
Biamping connections This diagram shows how to create a very efficient system with an external active crossover. The crossover will split your incoming preamp signal into two frequency ranges: one above and one below the cross- over frequency. True biamping is very efficient because each amplifier channel only receives and amplifies the range required for its driver. -
Page 20: Speaker Connections
User's Manual Speaker connections If your speakers cannot be biwired, the normal configuration is to have one speaker connected per channel. The connection of more than one per channel will tend to degrade the speaker’s frequency response. For the best results use one speaker per channel. -
