Trends BA-10 Lite Bi-amp Audio System

Trends BA-10 Lite Bi-amp Audio System

As all we know, many high end speakers come with four sets of terminals on the back, two red, and two black with each pair of terminals supporting separate high and low frequency signals to the correct speakers. When supplied, the speakers will usually have a ‘bridging plate’ across them so that you only have to supply one cable to the speaker. If you supply each pair of terminals with a separate cable, from a separate amplifier output, you will be ensuring that each frequency gets a dedicated and consistent signal and this should improve the sound quality.
