During Bi-wiring / Bi-amping operation of the AURUM loudspeaker, both screw terminals for the woofer (LO)
are below and for the midrange speakers and tweeters (Hl) are above on the connection plate.
Only the largest models of the AURUM 9 series are fitted with an extended connector panel by means of
which these connections are arranged horizontally and the various operating modes apply analogously with
the assignment of (Hl) and (LO).
Make sure you use the correct polarities in these modes and that you remove the jumpers on the speaker
terminal to avoid damaging your amplifier.
OPERATION WITH A SURROUND AMPLIFIER
Once you have positioned and connected your speakers as shown in the illustration, you should perform the
necessary settings in the bass management system of your surround amplifier.
Make sure you read the user manual supplied by your amplifier's manufacturer before doing this.
Since bass management primarily depends on the loudspeaker configuration, we give only typical settings
below.
a) Small and very small satellite speakers must be operated in "small" mode.
Perform the setting on your amplifier as follows:
Front:
Rear:
b) There is no definitive formula for the settings for compact speakers. In this case, the suitable mode may be
"large" or "small". This depends on the volume level you prefer or the sound effect you wish to obtain (refer
to the section "Caution, clipping!"). The settings on your amplifier can optionally be configured as follows:
Front:
Rear:
c)
Floorstanding speakers or large bookshelf speakers that are suitable for powerful bass reproduction
should be operated in "large" mode.
Perform the setting on the amplifier as follows:
Front:
