Bi-Wiring
(ES60,
ES55
and
ES50
Towers)
Bi-wiring
can
provide
not
i
ceable
improvements
in
the
overall
transparency
of
your loudspeakers.
After
removing
the
jumpers, run
separate
speaker wires
to
the
low
and high frequency drivers
from
a single
amplifier
(the
upper
set
of
binding
posts
are
for
the
high
frequency
drivers,
the
lower set
of
binding
posts
are
for
the
low
frequency
drivers).
Connect
one set
of
speaker wires
to
the
upper
terminals
on
each
speaker
and one set
of
wires
to
the
lower
terminals.
Connect
the
other
ends
of
both
wire sets
to
the
same
amplifier
outputs.
See
Amplifer /
AV
R's
user
manual
for
configuration
instructions.

Amping
(ES60,
ES55
and
ES50
Towers)
Bi-amping allows you
to
use
separate
amplifiers
for
the
high and
low
frequency
sections
of
your loudspeaker
for
greater
dynamic
range and lower
distortion.
We
recommend
that
your
separate
amplifiers have
identical
gain
to
preserve
the
speaker's voicing
balance.
After
removing
the
jumpers,
connect
the
speaker wires
from
the
high
frequency
amplifier
outputs
to
the
upper
set
of
terminal
posts
on
each
speaker. Follow
the
same
procedure
for
connecting
the
low
frequency
amplifier
outputs
to
the
lower
set
of
terminals. Remember
to
maintain
correct
wiring
polarity
(+to+,
-
to
- )
in
all connections.

Placement Recommendations for the
ES35
and
ES30
Cente
r Channel Speaker
The
most
popular
placement
for
your
ES35
or
ES30
center
channel speaker
is
on a shelf below your
flat
screen
TV
(if
you have an older box
TV,
a popular option
is
to
place your
center
channel speaker on
top
of
it,
anchoring
the
dialogue and
effects
to
the
screen).
Note: For older
TV's,
the
ES35
and
ES30
are
NOT
magnetically
shielded.
Also
compatible
as a left,
center
or right speaker
(L/C/R),
the
ES35
center
channel speaker includes built
in
keyhole slots
for
easy
wall-mounting
(see instructions
on wall
mount
template
for
more
information)
.
Processor Mode
Note: Set these speakers
(ES35,
ES30,
ES20,
ES15,
ES10)
to
"small"
in
your receiver's Bass
Management
Settings.
Set
to
"large"
for
tower
speakers
(ES60,
ES55,
ES50)
.
The
"bass
management"
or "speaker configuration"
menus
of
most
surround receivers
offer
the
choice
of
"normal" or "wide" modes
for
smaller speaker
operation
.
In
discrete
channel
digital
processors, these
modes are referred
to
as "small" and "large." Normal
(small)
mode
filters bass frequencies
from
center
channel, bookshelf and
satellite
surround speakers,
and sends
them
instead
to
the
front
left
and right main
speakers or
to
the
subwoofer
output
(LFE) jack. Wide
(large)
mode
sends an unfiltered, full-range signal
to
these speakers. Use
the
Small
(normal)
mode
for
optimum
center
and surround channel
performance
and reliability.
