Please take note of the jumpers installed
across the binding posts of the
IIIp INTER-
FACE..... These jumpers attach the high-pass
and the low-pass sections of the interface
together. Leaving these in place, connect
the (+) wire from your amplifier to either of
the red
AMPLIFIER SIGNAL binding posts of
the Interface and the (-) wire to either of the
black posts. Next, connect the
IIIp INTERFACE
to the MONOLITH III with the provided cables.
See Figure 1.
This method of connection replaces the
jumpers installed across the binding posts
of the
IIIp INTERFACE with individual runs of
speaker wire from your amplifier. This
doubles the signal carrying conductors from
the amplifier to the speaker thus, direct-
coupling each portion of the crossover to the
amplifier.
To bi-wire you must first remove the
jumpers from the
IIIp INTERFACE. Connect
one set of wires to the HI+ HI+ HI+ HI+ HI+ and HI- HI- HI- HI- HI- binding
posts of the IIIp INTERFACE. Then connect a
second set of wires to the LO+ LO+ LO+ LO+ LO+ and LO- LO- LO- LO- LO-
binding posts. Next, connect both sets of
wires to the appropriate terminals on your
amplifier. See
Figure 2. Please take care to
connect both (+) wires to the (+) amplifier
terminals and both (-) wires to the (-)
amplifier terminals. This is known as a
parallel connection.
