Caspian Integrated Amplifier Manual MULTI-WIRING AND MULTI-AMPING If the Loudspeakers utilise more than one drive unit with individual input terminals, for example a Tweeter and a Woofer, then the loudspeaker performance will benefit from Bi-Amping. Dedicat- ing one amplifier to the Tweeter and another to the Woofer isolates them from each other reduc- ing distortion and increasing reserved power.
