F208 Vertical Bi-Amped Connections
CAUTION: Remove the shorting straps before making bi-
amped connections. Failure to do so may cause damage to
some power amplifi ers.
Vertical bi-amped connections are made between both pairs of F208
input terminals and two separate output channels of a single power
amplifi er. Each F208 loudspeaker is connected to an individual power
amplifi er, which can sometimes increase sonic performance. The power
amplifi ers for the two loudspeakers must be identical.
NOTE:
• Vertical bi-amped connections must be made using two identical
power amplifi ers, one for each loudspeaker.
• When making vertical bi-amped connections, both power
amplifi er channels must receive identical input signals from the
associated preamplifi er. If the associated preamplifi er does not
have two output connectors for each channel, “Y” adaptors are
required.
1. Remove the shorting straps.
2. Connect one speaker cable to the high-frequency set of F208 input
terminals. Then connect the other end of that speaker cable to the
desired power amplifi er output channel.
3. Connect another speaker cable to the low-frequency set of F208
input terminals. Then connect the other end of that speaker
cable to another output channel of the same power amplifi er you
connected to the high-frequency input terminals.
4. Connect both amplifi er channel inputs to the output of a single
preamplifi er channel. If the preamp only has one connector for the
channel, use a “Y”-adaptor.
5. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 to connect the second F208 to another,
identical power amplifi er. Repeat step 4 to connect the second
amplifi er to the preamplifi er’s other channel.
