In this mode, one channel is fed into both tweeters to be distributed throughout
the area. This way in a multiple-speaker setup, one speaker can be a dedicated
le speaker and another a dedicated right.
Surround (Dipole)
The Dual Tweeter models can be used for either one channel (surround) or two
channels (stereo). A switch is located on the back of the speaker to select which
mode to use. One of the inputs is labeled for surround. This is the input that
should be used if you’re only using one channel.
Dual Tweeters
In this mode, two channels are fed into the speaker: one channel for each tweeter.
This setup is ideal for small rooms such as walk-in closets and bathrooms, as well
as oddly-shaped areas such as hallways. With both le and right channels in one
speaker, only one speaker is needed in smaller rooms. In areas like hallways, both
channels can be evenly distributed throughout the area with multiple speakers.
Stereo (Dipole)
If you are using a dual tweeter speaker in stereo mode (i.e. there are two wires
connected to the speaker: one for the le channel and one for the right), do not
set the switch to surround mode. This could damage the amplifier.
