PERATION
Your Infinity Omega speakers permit you to employ two power amplifiers in a
bi-amp configuration. One amplifier feeds the woofer (the signal passes
through the speaker’s crossover network to feed the woofer) and the other
amplifier drives the remainder of the speaker system. This arrangement gener-
ally results in the purest and most open sound obtainable from the speaker.
To connect your speaker to two amplifiers, merely remove the two gold-plated
straps (which connect the bass and higher frequency section of the crossover
network together for use with a single power amplifier) and connect one
amplifier to the bass terminals and the other amplifier to the tweeter/midrange
terminals. Observe polarity as detailed in the previous section. (See figure 3.)
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EMPLOY TWO SEPARATE AMPLIFIERS WITH-
OUT FIRST REMOVING THE SHORTING STRAPS ON THE REAR OF THE
SPEAKER. DO NOT REMOVE THE SHORTING STRAPS WHEN USING
ONLY A SINGLE POWER AMPLIFIER (except when bi-wiring; refer to the
next section).
If your amplifiers are not equal in power, always use the amplifier with the
higher power (or greater current capability) to drive the woofers. When using
two different amplifiers, it is recommended that at least one of the amplifiers
has a level control that will permit you to set the level of one of the amplifiers
to balance the other, resulting in equal output feeding the woofers and
midrange/tweeter sections.
