    Caspian Integrated Amplifier Manual LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear panel binding posts (11) and (12) respectively.

Dedicat- ing one amplifier to the Tweeter and another to the Woofer isolates them from each other reduc- ing distortion and increasing reserved power.
