4.2.2 Passive operation

These monitors can either be installed with a single twin cable, 2 twin cables
(bi-wired) or 3 twin cables (tri-wired). It is recommended that the monitors are
installed bi or tri-wired. This will make a small improvement in sound quality by
minimising distortions produced by voltage losses associated with the interac-
tion of signal currents flowing through the loudspeaker cables. If the speakers
are to be sofit mounted and there is any intention to convert to bi or tri-amped
operation then the speakers should be bi or tri-wired to avoid the need to
remove the speakers from their sofit mounting position when converting.
If installing with a single twin cable the hot or positive wire should be
connected to the appropriate terminal marked (+) and having the red
marking round the screw down knob. The cold or negative wire should be
connected to the corresponding terminal marked (-) and having the black
marking round the screw down knob. The brass connecting links between the 3
