Energy Speaker Systems Audissey Series - Manual (Page 9)

3) Combination Bi-Amp/Bi-Wire Hook up - This method uses separate
amplifiers for the low frequency section and high frequency section of the speaker.
This dramatically improves musicality.The amplifier’s gains and the phase relationship
of the amplifier’s input to output must be identical. (see figure 4)
Care of Finish
Your Energy speakers are attractively finished and should be gently wiped clean, from
time to time, with a damp cloth to remove any dust or stains.
Distortion Causes Speaker Damage
When an amplifier is “overdriven” it produces distorted output power several times
greater than its rated power. All amplifiers produce high levels of distortion when they
are driven beyond their rated power output and this distortion can damage any speaker.
Overdriven amplifier distortion is called “Clipping”.
Clipping can be identified by a fuzzy or distorted sound. If this is heard, lower the vol-
ume immediately to avoid damage to your system. If louder volumes are desired, the
only practical solution is to obtain an amplifier capable of more clean (undistorted) out-
put power.
