Bi-Wiring, Pt 2: A Clever Trick You Should Know!

Only small sections of the video contain narration; it's mostly text and diagrams. Also there's no CC, closed captioning, so turn it off. This is PART 2 in my speaker bi-wiring series explaining a clever trick. A basic recap of part 1 is included so this video can theoretically be viewed independently. If you like this video please help me spread the word by sharing a link to it in your audio forums. THANKS! The Audio Engineering Society defines bi-wiring as follows: "bi-wire Loudspeakers. A technique that uses two wires to connect between one power amplifier and one loudspeaker instead of the more conventional one-wire approach. Some high-end consumer loudspeakers provide two sets of terminals with a shorting bar that can be removed to allow bi-wiring. It is important to understand that this is NOT a biamped technique where an electronic crossover and two power amplifiers are used to drive the woofer and high-frequency drivers separately. Instead this is a typical loudspeaker with a built-in passive crossover network that separates the audio signal after it enters the cabinet into (at least) low and high frequency components driving the woofer and high-frequency driver(s). [A very popular technique among wire and cable manufacturers.]" SOURCE: https://www.aes.org/par/b/ Roger Russell (R.I.P.) was a longtime engineer, Director of Acoustic Research at McIntosh Laboratory, Inc., and the originator of McIntosh Loudspeakers (although his company is probably best known for their world class amplifiers, many sporting sexy blue power level meters). He's provided a good website discussing speaker wire and it includes a wire table explaining what gauge of wire is adequate for a specific speaker impedance and wire run (length), here: http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wir... Part 1 of this series, better suited to people needing to learn the distinctions between bi-wiring, passive bi-amplifying (common in consumer electronics), and active bi-amplifying (rare in consumer receivers), is here:    • Bi-Wiring, Part 1: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒅
