Biamping with an external
crossover

If you have an external active

crossover, you can greatly increase

the efficiency of your system. The

crossover will split the preamplifier
output signals into two frequency
ranges.

You can connect the crossover's

low frequency outputs to the ampli-

fier's rear channel inputs, and the
crossover's higher frequency outputs

to the amplifier's front channel inputs.

This is an efficient system because

the channels only amplify signals with-
in the frequency range of the speaker
element they are driving. Little power
is wasted.

Make sure that the crossover point

of your active crossover is adjusted
to match the crossover point of your
speakers. Consult your speaker and
crossover owner's manuals.
