CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

This operation must be carried out with all equipment switched off!
The 4 connecting clamps that accept connection with spade connectors, bananas and with the bare cable are
on the rear panel of Venere S.
The connection can be made in three ways:
MONO-WIRING
The terminals are to remain connected to each other through bridges; connect one speaker to the output
terminals of the right channel of the amplifier, and the other speaker to the output terminals of the left channel
of the amplifier, following the correct polarity as shown in fig. 4 and 5.
BI-WIRING
The purpose of this type of connection is to enhance general reproduction quality, and in particular the bass
frequencies. This requires two pairs of power cables used as follows: remove the connections between the
terminals (bridges), connect each pair of terminals separately to the amplifier as shown in fig. 6 and 7a.
BI-AMPLIFICATION
Bi-amplification improves the sound reproduction in a general manner, and in particular gives greater dynamics
and control of the bass frequencies. It requires two stereo amplifiers and two pairs of power cables and
the connections between the speaker terminals must be removed. One amplifier is used to amplify the high
frequencies (right and left channels), and is connected by a pair of power cables to the terminals dedicated to
the high frequency drivers.
The second amplifier is used to amplify the bass frequencies (right and left channels), and is connected by a pair
of cables the terminals dedicated to the bass frequency drivers. See fig. 6 and 7b.
Finally, the accurate tightening of the contacts and a periodic check of these contributes to improved performance.
