This section explains how to connect AV 5140 or AV 5120 loudspeakers
with the rest of your system.
The AV 5140 loudspeaker provides separate connections to the treble,
midrange, and bass crossovers and drivers, and the AV 5120 loudspeaker
provides separate connections to the treble and midrange/bass crossovers
and drivers. You can use separate cables between the power amplifier and
each section of the loudspeaker (bi-wiring or tri-wiring), or to use a
separate power amplifier for each section of the loudspeaker (bi-amping
or tri-amping).
Using separate cables for each driver improves the subjective performance
of the loudspeakers by reducing the coupling between the signals.
Using bare wires
The sockets are designed so you can connect to them using either plugs
or bare wires. To use bare wire connections undo the terminal collar, using
the key provided, and insert the wire through the hole in the pillar. Then
tighten the terminal collar to secure the wire.
Installing the linking plates
Use the key provided to remove the adjacent pairs of terminal collars,
install the linking plate, and replace the terminal collars.
