CONNECTING HIFI SPEAKERS
Single wired a single amplifier, tri-link bar is fitted
Tri or Bi-wired – a single amplifier, with separate wires
to drive the bass/mid unit and the treble unit.
Additional links are supplied to allow Bi-wiring.
Tri or Bi-amplified – two or three amplifiers. One drives
each section or 2 sections with Bi-wire link e.g mid/hf.
(Remove all link sections when Tri-Amping)
Important Note, please make sure that heavy multi-standard
cables are well connected and clamped. Single loose strands
arcing can cause noise in the woofers like a faulty speaker.

Using separate cables for
treble, mid and bass units in
Tri or Bi-wiring configuration
reduces intermodulation
effects and improves
headroom and clarity. To
Bi-wire, you will need to install
two lengths of twin core cable
between the amplifier and
each loudspeaker.
Unscrew each terminal a few
turns and remove the metal
tri-link straps. Use the
bi-link straps (supplied in
accessories) to connect the
treble and mid-range
terminals. Connect the cables
between the amplifier and the
loudspeakers as indicated and
re-tighten all the terminals
securely.
Note: Some amplifiers have
two pairs of output terminals
to facilitate bi-wiring but this is
not essential. The advantages
of bi-wiring are fully retained if
your amplifier has only one
pair of output terminals per
channel (as in the illustration).
