ULTIMA 3 | Manual
_
As ULTIMA 3 is a mono amplifier,
it only supports a single speaker
output, however, it has four
speaker terminals. Both positive
speaker terminals originate from
the same source, as does the
negative speaker terminals. Do
use the additional two postive
and negative terminals if you
wish to bi-wire your speakers.
In order to connect ULTIMA 3 to
loudspeakers, use high-quality
loudspeaker cable terminated
with 4mm banana plugs or 6mm
spades. Bare wire can be used,
but it is not recommended.
