Bi-Wiring Connections - Tannoy KINGDOM ROYAL Manual

BI-WIRING CONNECTIONS

Bi-wiring releases the full potential
of the Tannoy Kingdom Royal
loudspeakers. Two complete sets of
cable are required. Switch the amplifier
off. Deal with each 'side' of the system
separately. Label two of the cables Left
LF and Left HF (low frequency and high
frequency), referring to the diagram
(see fig. 3).
Do the same for the right pair. Undo the
loudspeaker terminals, remove and
retain the Bi-wiring links so that the
same polarity terminals are no
longer joined.
It is essential to get the polarity correct.
If your amplifier does not have separate
output terminals for bass and treble
then, at the amplifier end of the cable,
connect the Left LF+ and HF+ cables
together. Then wire to the amplifier Left
channel positive terminal marked +
(plus) or coloured red.
Connect the Left LF- and HF- cables
together to the amplifier negative
terminal marked - (minus) or black.
Note the polarity marking on the cable.
At the loudspeaker end connect the
cables marked Left LF+ and LF- to the
appropriate left speaker LF terminals.
Connect the Left HF+ and HF- to the
appropriate + and - left speaker
HF terminals.
Make the same connections with the
Right LF and HF cables. Note the
polarity of the cable and be sure to
connect + to + and - to -, the LF
cables to LF terminals and HF to HF.
Switch on the amplifier with the volume
turned down. Select a favourite source
and carefully turn up the volume. Check
that bass and treble sounds come from
both speakers. If not, switch off and
recheck the connections.
