For the MR1 and MR Centre, there are
only one pair of terminals (as in illustration
opposite). This means it is only possible
to single wire these speakers.
The MR2, MR4 & MR6 all have two pairs
of terminals. By running one pair of cables
(one positive and one negative) you will be
single wiring them.
When single wiring these speakers, you
must leave the terminal links in.
By running two pairs of cables (two
positive and two negative) from a single
pair of terminals on your amp, you will be
bi-wiring them.
Some AV amplifiers support bi-amping.
This is very similar in process to bi-wiring,
except the two pairs of cables will not
be joined at the amplifier end to a single
set of terminals, they go to two pairs of
terminals. Bi-amping is also achieved by
using two stereo amplifier.
By bi-wiring/ bi-amping them you will get
a cleaner, more smooth sound with tighter
mid and more controlled bass.
When bi-wiring these speakers, you must
remove the terminal links. Failure to do so
will result in damage to your amp.
