Page 11: Block Diagram
As shown above, standard Speakon speaker cables are wired to pins 1+ and 1-. Pins 2+ and 2- are reserved for use when biamping (as is the case on Carvin TR1503 and TR1801 trapezoidal speaker systems), or bridging (not supported). -

A more complicated and expensive way would be to isolate two pieces of equipment from each other with ‘audio isolation’ or ‘line matching’ transformers. - Page 14 This diagram demonstrates the use of a Carvin XC3000 active crossover, F1200 amplifier This illustration shows a Carvin XC3000 active crossover, F1200 amplifier for lows, F600 for for lows, F600 for mids and F300 for the highs.
