JBL GHE1000V Owner's Manual - Ghe Series

BI-WIRING CONNECTIONS

Fig. 6 & Fig. 7 show in closer detail the

hooking up of your speakers to the 

amplifier(s). Two bi-amplification options

are shown in detail: one stereo-amp (from

Fig. 4) and two stereo-amp (from Fig. 5). 

IMPORTANT:

1. The external "strapping bars" which

normally connect the GHE's HF and LF

terminals MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE

BI-WIRING CONNECTIONS ARE MADE

(See Fig 8).

2. NEVER CONNECT TWO AMPLIFIER

CHANNELS TO THE SAME LOUD-

SPEAKER WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING

THE STRAPPING BARS. Operating two

amplifier channels with the GHE strapping

bars in place can seriously damage the

amplifiers! 

3. If your preamplifier has just one set of

stereo outputs, you will need to use "Y"

cords in the two, three, and four-amp bi-

wire hook-ups. "Y" cords are available

from many sources including your JBL

dealer.

4. If you have hooked up your GHEs in

any of the bi-wire configurations indicated,

it is not advisable to use additional speak-

ers, either separately or simultaneously.

5. As with conventional one-amplifier, 

non-bi-wire conections shown in the

"CONNECTIONS" section of this manual,

make sure that all speaker cables are the

same length and that you maintain the

"red-to-red" and "black-to-black" connec-

tions between the amps and the speakers.
