Hey guys
I have a pair of Mission 734's that I would like to bi-amp with my Rotel RC971/RB971 (one is the mark one, the other is the mark two) pre and power amps.
I have all the cables ready to go as well as an ART CX310 crossover.
My conundrum right now appeared when I opened the back of the speaker to remove the passive crossover.
I attached a pic of what I saw.
My question is, how would I prepare the wires for bi-amping? Would I simply connect the tweeter to the top terminal pegs and the bottom two speakers to the bottom terminal pegs?
I guess I was expecting to connect the tweeter and mid together and the sub on it's own. Now I'm not so sure.
I tried (and failed) to get a copy of a user manual for the speakers to find out the frequency of the existing passive crossovers to see if that would help answer my question...but alas, no luck.
Ok, another Google search revealed this:
I got in touch with Mission in the USA, but they have no documentation of my speakers.
I did find this online though:
Enclosure Type 3-Way Reflex
Freq. Response 70Hz-20KHz + / - 2 dB
-6 dB 38Hz
Nominal Impedance 8 Ohms
Recommended Amplifier 25-125 Watts / Ch.
Crossover Frequency 2.8KHz
Effective Volume 40 Liters
Drive Units LF: 2 x 170 mm Polypropylene
HF: 28 mm Composite Dome
Input Connectors 5-Way Post
Bi-Amp / Bi-Wire
Cabinet Dimensions (HxWxD) 840 x 204 x 335
It seems that the bottom two speakers are the same, but one is ported.
At the moment I am guessing I connect the top two to one power amp and the ported driver to the other power amp and set the crossover to 2.8khz.
Does this sound about right?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Lee.
