Bi-Wiring and Bi-Amping Options

All PSB Platinum Series speakers can be bi-wired (separate cables to the separated woofers and midrange/tweeters from
the same amplifier) and bi-amped (separate amplifiers). With single cable inputs, the jumper straps must be in place and
both sets of terminals tightened firmly. Before bi-wiring or bi-amping, ALWAYS remove the metal jumper straps that

connect the two sets of
binding posts on the
speaker. Loosen ½”
(13mm) hex nuts and lift
moveable washers to
remove the jumper strap.

With bi-amp hookup
you must use either
identical amplifiers or
amplifiers adjusted to
have the same voltage
gain. Consult your PSB
dealer or our Web site
for further information.
