Bi- or Tri-Wiring
The concept of bi- or tri-wiring is that higher sonic performance (greater
inner detail, higher definition, increased transparency and improved depth)
is achieved by utilizing two or three sets of wires to connect each loud-
speaker to its respective channel of your amplifier or receiver.
If you choose this method of hookup, follow these instructions:
For bi-wiring: (See diagram # 2) Remove both the jumpers between the
mid and high terminals on the speaker. Then take care to ensure that both
the red (+) high and red (+) mid terminals of the speaker are connected to
the red (+) terminal of the center channel of your amplifier (each using one
conductor of each of the two sets of wires for the center channel) and that
both the black (-) high and black (-) mid terminals of the your speaker are
connected to the black (-) terminal of the center channel of your amplifier
using the other conductor of each of the two sets of wires for the center
channel. Utilize the same hookup procedure for the left and right channels
if you are using C/L/R 3000s on these channels.
