Biwiring
Biwiring allows one to minimize the cable losses between the amplifier and the
loudspeaker. This is accomplished with a single stereo amplifier by running
separate sets of cables to the satellite section and the subwoofer section from
the same channel of amplification. When biwiring, we recommend the use of
gold spade lugs or dual banana plugs. This can make the task much easier and
safer than bare wire connections. Again, the major reasons for biwiring over
conventional wiring are greater power transfer (improved efficiency) and
tighter control over the drivers (better damping).
Uniamplification vs. Biamplification
Due to its high efficiency, the Whisper system performs well when driven by a
stereo amplifier capable of 50 watts per channel. However, it will handle cres-
cendos in excess of 500 watts at most frequencies. Audiophiles may opt for the
flexibility that biamplification can offer. Should you elect to biamplify Whisper,
be sure to remove the jumper wires that join the high frequency binding posts
(upper pair) and the low frequency binding posts (lower pair) at the rear of the
loudspeaker before making your connections. The high frequency amp will be
fed by the Fixed Outputs of the Processor, while the low frequency amp will be
fed by the Variable Outputs of the
Processor.
