BASIC SINGLE-WIRE CONNECTION
To connect the speakers using a single wire, connect the amplifier to each speaker as shown in the illustration below.
You can use either set of connectors on the connector panel.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the metal jumper bars from between the two sets of connectors when
connecting the speaker wires.

Jumper Bars
HDI series loudspeakers connector panels that have two sets of input connectors are joined by metal jumper bars.
The upper set of connectors is for the compression-driver/horn assembly, and the lower set of connectors is for
the woofer(s). This arrangement allows you to bi-wire the speakers using a single stereo amplifier or using two
stereo amplifiers. Bi-wiring can offer performance advantages and more flexibility in power-amplifier selection over a
conventional single-wire connection.
Before bi-wiring the speakers, remove the jumper bars.
