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 hook-up, 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 hook-up procedure for the left and right channels
if you are using C/L/R 2500s on these channels.
