In a biwire system, each loudspeaker
is driven by one amplifi er channel, but
separate speaker wire pairs are used
for the woofer and ribbon connections.
Make sure the bridge clips be-
tween the woofer and ribbon posts
are re moved from the loudspeak-
ers when you want to biamp or
biwire them. If not, this may cause
damage to the amplifi er.
Biwiring with a Sunfi re
Theater Grand Amplifi er
The front channels of Sunfi re's Theater
Grand Amplifi ers each have two pairs
of outputs that can be used to biwire
your speakers. The idea is to use the
voltage source to drive the woofers,
and the current source to drive the
ribbon. This will offer improved per for -
mance.
This example shows the connections
for biwiring a right front speaker.
Biwiring
• Connect the amplifi er’s right
front voltage source output to the
right loudspeak er’s woofer input
terminals. Use a separate pair
of speaker cables to connect the
amplifi er’s right front current source
output to the ribbon input terminals.
Conventional Biwiring
The example below shows the connec-
tions for biwiring a right front speaker
from a single output binding post pair.
• Connect the amplifi er terminals to
the loudspeaker's woofer input ter-
minals, and use a separate speaker
cable pair to connect the same
amplifi er terminals to the ribbon
input terminals.
