First, screw in two spikes next to each other and – before setting the box down – put the
corresponding washers (rubber facing down) in place. Then attach the two opposite
spikes and lower accordingly.
Then align the box vertically and counter the spikes.
BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING, TRI-WIRING AND TRI-AMPING
The Statement possesses a field with eight screw terminals, which – besides
conventional connection to an amplifier – also permit bi-wiring/bi-amping and tri-wiring/tri-
amping.
The (-) terminals are on the left.
The top terminals are connected to the treble branch, the middle ones to the crossover
filter's mid-range branch and the bottom terminals to the bass branch. The additional
terminal at the top right allows the treble range to be elevated by 2dB, the other terminal
in the centre right allows the mid-range to be lowered by 2dB.
The appropriate setting depends on the listening space, on where the loudspeakers are
placed and naturally on personal taste.
In rooms with high absorption (e.g. heavily upholstered furniture and curtains), the +2dB
tweeter setting is recommended and where the speakers are set up in close proximity to
a wall at their backs and rooms with low absorption, the -2dB setting is recommended.
Bi-wiring means that high and low frequencies are transported through separate cables.
The bi-amping method also requires a second final amplifier in addition to the second
cable.
Tri-wiring requires a third cable, tri-amping requires an additional third amplifier.
Four cable bridges have been supplied.
Please connect the loudspeaker terminals for conventional use with the y-cable bridges
(one cable shoe and two plugs) in accordance with Fig. 2a-d.
Please use the other cable bridges (one cable shoe and one plug) as shown in Fig. 2e-
l for bi-wiring and bi-amping.
No bridges may be used for tri-wiring and tri-amping. Figs. 2m-t show the connections to
the amplifier(s).
