VERTICAL BI-AMPLIFIED
CONNECTIONS
Vertical bi-amplified connections are made
between both F12s and two separate power
amplifiers. Each F12 is connected to its
own power amplifier, which sometimes
increases sonic performance. These power
amplifiers must be identical. Vertical bi-
amplified connections are shown in Figure
10 (below).
Note
When making vertical bi-amplified
connections, both power amplifiers must
receive identical input signals from the
associated pre-amplifier. A “Y” adaptor is
required if the associated pre-amplifier
does not offer two connectors per output
channel. Otherwise, each power amplifier
can be connected to a separate connector
for the same output channel of the pre-
amplifier.
To make vertical bi-amplified connections:
1. Remove the input panel shorting-straps
identified in Figure 5 (page 9).
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the F12 input connectors labeled HF
(High Frequency) as shown in Figure
10 (below). Then, connect the same
pair of loudspeaker wires to the desired
power amplifier outputs.
3. Connect another pair of loudspeaker
wires to the F12 input connectors
labeled LF (Low Frequency) as shown
in Figure 10 (below). Then, connect the
same pair of loudspeaker wires to sepa-
rate outputs on the same power ampli-
fier.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect the
input connectors on the second F12 to
another, identical power amplifier.
Note
Vertical bi-amplified connections must be
made using two identical power amplifiers.
CAUTION
• Failure to remove the shorting straps
may damage the associated power
amplifiers.
