What Is Bi Wiring?

Bi-wiring as a concept is still highly debated amongst audiophiles. However, the theory is that by splitting the audio signal between 2 pairs of cable, where one pair will control the tweeter and the other the woofer, the sound will be clearer when reproduced.

The standard single-wired method of wiring speakers to an amplifier is to use a single run of 2-core speaker cable, split into red and black which is used to identify positive and negative signal polarity. One pair of wires carries the full signal from the amplifier to each loudspeaker.

A bi-wired system uses two pairs of speaker cable from the receiver to the speaker: one carries the high notes and the other carries the middle and low frequencies. Many home theatre speakers now are capable of bi-wiring. You may notice 4 speaker terminals on the rear panel of your speakers, not 2.

By removing the bridging plate that connects the two positive (+) terminals and the two negative (-) terminals, you are ready to connect your speakers cables.
