A recent trend in loudspeaker design adds a second pair of connection terminals. This second set of terminals allows the speaker to be split into two independent sections. The usual split connects the mid and high frequency drivers to one set of terminals and the low frequency driver (the Woofer) to the other pair. Advanced listeners appreciate this added flexibility which will allow Bi-Wiring or Bi-Amplification.

As these speakers are shipped from the factory, there are metal links connecting the two sections that allow the speaker to be connected as a traditional loudspeaker. The first diagram below shows these links in place. Be sure that both ends of each link make good connections.

One possible advanced connection arrangement is called "Bi-Wiring".

In the Bi-Wire connection the links are removed and separate sets of speaker wires are run from the amplifier to each section as shown below.

When making use of the Bi-Wire connection take care to maintain the correct polarity (+ or RED) to (+ or RED) and (- or BLACK) to (- or BLACK) and avoid short circuits. Before attempting the connection make sure that your amplifier's speaker wire connectors will accept a second set of cables and that the equipment is turned OFF while you make the connections.
