Audio Note AN-E - Manual (Page 11)

CONNECTION (external crossover models)
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT THE AN-E CROSSOVER TO YOUR
AMPLIFIER, ENSURE THAT IT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY!
Choose loudspeaker cables that are long enough to comfortably reach from your
amplifier to the AN-E crossover without stretching or pulling tightly; it is always better
to have a loudspeaker cable that is too long rather than too short! It is also vitally
important to ensure that the crossover chassis is positioned close enough to the AN-
E so that the connecting cables between the ʻspeaker cabinet and the crossover are
not stretching or pulling tightly.
Ensure that each external crossover is connected to its matching AN-E!
On the rear of each external crossover chassis are four pairs of binding posts, eight
in total.
The four on the LEFT (labeled ʻINʼ) are for connection from the amplifier to the
crossover.
The four on the RIGHT (labeled ʻOUTʼ) are for connection from the crossover to the
loudspeaker.
Each binding post is colour coded either
RED or BLACK.
The RED binding posts (top) connect to the RED / POSITIVE (often marked ʻ + ʼ)
loudspeaker outputs on your amplifier / connecting cables to the AN-E.
The BLACK binding posts (bottom) connect to the BLACK / NEGATIVE (often
marked ʻ-ʻ) loudspeaker outputs on your amplifier / connecting cables to the AN-E.
As with the internal crossover models, it is possible to connect the external crossover
to the amplifier in either single wired or bi-wired operation, or to bi-amplify. Please
refer to the descriptions of both operating methods in the ʻinternal crossover modelsʼ
section. Your Audio Note (UK) Dealer will be pleased to advise you further, should
you have any questions.
