Signature 500 - Bi-Wiring and Bi-Amping

Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-amping takes this
idea one step further and uses separate power amplifiers as well as separate cables for high and low frequencies. Bi-amping in particular produces an additional improvement in sound reproduction quality.

The special connection terminals of the SIGNATURE 500 loudspeakers support both conventional
connection and operation in bi-wiring and bi-amping modes. There are four screw terminals on each
speaker. The top pair are for the tweeter (high frequencies), the lower pair for the woofer (low frequencies).

The factory-installed metal strips connecting the positive and negative terminals are for conventional
2-wire connection and must be removed for bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The pictures below show
the correct set-up for conventional operation (Fig. 5a), bi-wiring (Fig. 5b) and bi-amping (Fig. 5c).
