BI-AMPLIFICATION WITH CONVENTIONAL ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER
The MG3.6/R is arranged conveniently for bi-amplification. By adding an additional
stereo amplifier and a crossover, you can enjoy the benefits of increased dynamic
range and lower distortion.
1.
Set your electronic crossover at the following points and slopes:
Low Pass: 18dB per octave at 250Hz
High Pass: 6dB per octave at 200Hz
2.
Connect the bass and mid/treble amplifiers directly to the speakers as
shown in Figure 6. Do not use the MG3.6 external crossover box.

3.
Since the effective crossover point for the MG3.6/R is approximately
250Hz, the power requirements for the bass midrange/treble amps are
nearly the same. Therefore, use amplifiers of similar power rating. It is
suggested to use amplifiers rated at 100 watts RMS or greater, into 8
ohms.
