Bi-amping using an external power-amplier
To bi-amplify your speakers using one or more external power ampliers, you will need as many
channels of amplication as there are channels you wish to bi-amplify. For example, to bi-amplify just
the front left and right channels, a two-channel amplier such as the Arcam P90 is required; to bi-
amplify all seven channels, either multiple two-channel ampliers or a single seven-channel amplier (or
some variation thereof) are required.
Connect the pre-amplier outputs of the AVR350 to the line inputs of the power amplier(s) you are
using. If multiple two-channel power ampliers are in use, it is recommended to route pairs of channels
through the same amplier (e.g., the front left and right channels should be amplied by the same
amplier).
Connect the HF terminal of your speaker to the correct speaker terminal of the AVR350 (the AVR350
amplication circuits will be used to provide the high-frequency signals); connect the LF terminal of
your speaker to the correct speaker terminal of the power amplier (the power amplier will be used to
provide the low-frequency signals).
Ensure that in all cases, the positive terminals on the speakers are connected to the positive (red)
terminals on the amplier, and similarly for the negative (black) terminals.
