Hey all,

Just a quickey.......

The other week did a rodie job for a pa company (anyone in the east may have heard of him ...MJ Pa hire)

The cabs had a switch on the back that said 'bi amped' and hyaving seen this expression used in a different post i thought i would ask.....

WHat is bi amping??????

Bi-amping is the practice of connecting two audio amplifiers to a loudspeaker unit: one to power the bass driver (woofer) and the other to power the treble driver (tweeter). A single amplifier can usually power a woofer and a tweeter only through a crossover filter, which protects each driver from signals outside its frequency range. However, the crossovers themselves waste power; bi-amping works around this problem by putting crossover networks before the amplifiers rather than between amplifiers and loudspeakers.

The technique is primarily used in large-scale audio applications such as sound amplification for concerts, in portable powered speakers and by hi-fi enthusiasts.

The term derives from the prefix bi-, meaning 'two', and amp, a contraction of 'amplifier'.
