Bi-Amping (L600, L400 and L200)
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. (Figure 2)
Remember to maintain correct wiring polarity (+ to +, – to –)
in all connections. See amplifier/AV receiver user manual for
configuration instructions.
Bass Management
When using your Legend Series loudspeakers with a receiver or
processor employing bass management in a home theater, we
recommend the following settings:
L600: set to “small” when using a subwoofer and set the
crossover frequency between 40-80Hz. If no subwoofer is
present in the system, set these to “large”.
L400, L200: set to “small” when using a subwoofer and set the
crossover frequency between 50-80Hz.
L100: set to “small” when using a subwoofer and set the
crossover frequency between 60-80Hz.
Legend Series Speaker Positioning
Placement Recommendations for the
L400 Center Channel Speaker
The most popular placement for your L400 center channel
speaker is below your TV. You may also place your center
channel above your TV should you choose. The center channel
is very heavy, and we do not recommend wall mounting them.
To maximize the sound quality of your speaker system —
whether you’ve purchased floor-standing speakers, a center
channel speaker, bookshelf speakers or height modules —
correct placement is important. Take a look at the following
examples and give them a try based on the Legend Series
speakers you’ve purchased.
Note: Your Legend Series speakers are compatible with basic/
advanced 2.0, 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 7.1 and 9.1 surround setups (optional
subwoofer shown in graphics) and all Atmos setups
(ex. 5.1.2, 5.1.4, etc.) .
Listening in 2.1 System
Get the most realistic stereo image by placing speakers as far
apart as the listeners are sitting from them. You may choose to
angle the speakers toward the middle to support a more solid
center image.
