GHE 1000V (serv.man2) - JBL Audio User Guide / Operation Manual. Page 5

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.
