Setup
Connect your speakers
NOTE
Always set the NORMAL/BI-AMP/BTL selector before turning on
the power. If the setting is changed after turning on the power, the
setting will not be applied.
There are 3 modes for connecting this unit with speakers:
• Normal mode
• Bi-amp mode
• BTL mode (Bridge mode)
Set the NORMAL/BI-AMP/BTL selector on the rear panel of this unit
according to the connection mode used.

Connect your speaker cables between the AMP 10 and your
speakers. This is the default setup, where you simply connect the
speakers directly to the corresponding pair of terminals.

Connecting separate ampli ers to the tweeter terminal and woofer
terminal of a speaker that supports bi-ampli cation enables
playback with higher sound quality.

playback.

• When making bi-amp mode, be sure to remove the short-circuiting
plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.
• For the highest power set-up, the BTL mode can convert the 2 x 200 W
at 8 ohms stereo ampli er to a 400 W mono ampli er. The two-ampli er
circuit construction guarantees an excellent signal to noise ratio and
the full control of any speaker.
