SINGLE-WIRED CONNECTIONS
Single-wired connections are made between
one F12 input channel and one power
amplifier output channel as shown in
Figure 8 (below).
To make single-wired connections:
1. Leave the shorting-strips identified in
Figure 5 (page 9) in place as shown in
Figure 8 (below).
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the desired F12 input connectors.
Then, connect the same pair of loud-
speaker wires to the desired power
amplifier output connectors.
3. Repeat step 1 to connect the second F12
to a separate power amplifier.
BI-WIRED CONNECTIONS
Bi-wired connections are made between both
F12s and one power amplifier as shown in
Figure 9 (below).
To make bi-wired connections:
1. Remove the shorting-straps identified
in Figure 5 (page 9).
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the F12 input connectors labeled HF
(High Frequency) in Figure 9 (below).
Then, connect the same pair of loud-
speaker wires to the desired power
amplifier outputs.
3. Connect another pair of loudspeaker
wires to the F12 input connectors
labeled LF (Low Frequency) in Figure 9
(below). Then, connect the same pair
of loudspeaker wires to the same power
amplifier outputs that were selected in
step 2.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect both
input connectors on the second F12 to
a separate power amplifier.
Note
For all bi-wiring and bi-amplifying connec-
tions, the wire gauge for all wires should
be identical.

Note
The actual F12 rear panel does not have
labeled input connectors. The binding
posts have red (positive) and black (nega-
tive) inserts to indicate polarity. In Figure
8 (above) the polarity symbols of the
inputs are identified for clarity. In Figure 9
(right), Figure 10 (page 15) and Figure 11
(page 16), the F12 input connectors are
labeled as either HF (High Frequency) or
LF (Low Frequency) to illustrate proper
connection procedures.
