Option D, biamplification. This mode of operation requires a
dedicated electronic dividing network crossing over at 650 Hz.
We recommend the JBL DX-1 with internal compensation
made for the M9500 system. If this mode is used, make sure
that the screwdriver adjustment on the back of each network
is set in the “biamp” position.
High-frequency trim switches on the
back of the networks provide three set-
tings (zero, plus, and minus) so that the systems can be
trimmed for the acoustical characteristics of the listening
space.
Regardless of the operating mode you choose, we recommend
that only the finest hookup wire be used between the ampli-
fiers and dividing networks. We recommend that the wire size
be no smaller than 3.3 square millimeter cross-section (#12
AWG). The inputs to the networks can accommodate spade
lugs, pins, bare wire, or individual banana connectors.
The internal 9-volt battery that is used to bias the capacitors
will normally last at least 5 years. You may test it by pressing
the gold logo on the front of the network. If the LED on the
front of the network illuminates, the battery is functional and
need not be replaced.
