Pinnacle Speakers PIN AMP 800 - Manual (Page 5)

CONNECTION OPTION #2 - Using The Binding Post Inputs:
There are two reasons to use this connection option. The first is if your receiver has no subwoofer
output jack! The second is if your system would benefit from having the bass filtered out of the main
speakers (if you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver you can achieve the same results electronically
simply by configuring your main speakers as SMALL and connecting your PIN AMP 800 using an RCA
cable - see Connection Option #1). If you have large main speakers that are capable of reproducing a
great deal of bass on their own then this connection option may not be advantageous to you. If however
you have small main speakers then this method deserves consideration. Since this connection method
filters out the low bass from the main speakers it provides the beneficial effects of increasing their power
handling and improving their clarity.
If you choose to use this connection option, simply run speaker wire from your receiver’s speaker
outputs to the PIN AMP 800 inputs marked "Input from Receiver / Amp". Then, wire your left and right
front speakers to the PIN AMP 800 outputs marked "Output to Speakers". Please refer to the Option #2
wiring diagram above for further clarification. Place the Crossover Bypass Switch on the PIN AMP 800 in
the OFF position (this activates the Low Pass Filter).
