CONNECTION TO AMPLIFIER
On the rear of your amplifier, identify the loudspeaker output terminals; they should
be labeled ʻLEFTʼ and “RIGHTʼ.
Facing your amplifier and loudspeakers, connect the left loudspeaker to the ʻLEFTʼ
loudspeaker outputs on your amplifier, and the right loudspeaker to the ʻRIGHTʼ
loudspeaker outputs on your amplifier.
If your amplifier is equipped with multiple loudspeaker output terminals, consult the
manual for the unit to ascertain the appropriate connection regime.
The facility to split the crossover of the AZ-THREE allows the speakers to be
operated in a bi-wired or bi-amplified mode. The crossovers are split by removing the
connecting links between the HF and LF terminals on the rear of the speaker.
Bi-wiring
This involves running two sets of cables to the rear of each
speaker, so that the Low Frequency (LF) section of the
crossover is fed by one set and the High Frequency (HF)
section by the other. Both sets of cables are attached together
to the corresponding pair of terminals on the back of the
amplifier.
We strongly recommend bi-wiring the AZ-THREE
with a suitable loudspeaker cable from the
Audio Note (UK) range.
Bi-amplifying
This involves using two stereo or four mono power amplifiers
to drive the loudspeakers. If you intend to ʻbi-ampʼ the
AZ-THREE, please consult your amplifiers manual(s) for the
appropriate connection regime.
If you are in any way uncertain as to the correct method of connection for your
amplifier or loudspeakers, please consult your Audio Note (UK) dealer.
Special Note – Make sure that all connections are tight and clean. For
best results use good quality loudspeaker cables. Although it is
perfectly acceptable to use cables manufactured by other companies,
for best results and performance, we recommend our own Audio Note
(UK) range of interconnects and loudspeaker cables. For further
information, please consult your nearest Audio Note (UK) dealer, or
alternatively please feel free to contact us directly.
