HECO VICTA PRIME 702, 602, 502, 302 – BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING

Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-amping takes this

idea one step further and uses separate power amplifiers as well as separate cables for high and low

frequencies. Bi-amping in particular produces an additional improvement in sound reproduction quality.

The special connection terminals of the VICTA PRIME loudspeakers support both conventional connection

and operation in bi-wiring and bi-amping modes. There are four screw terminals on each speaker. The

top pair are for the tweeter (high frequencies), the lower pair for the woofer (low frequencies). The

factory-installed metal strips connecting the positive and negative terminals are for conventional 2-wire

connection and must be removed for bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The pictures below show the

correct set-up for conventional operation (Fig. 4a), bi-wiring (Fig. 4b) and bi-amping (Fig. 4c).

HECO VICTA PRIME CENTER 102

The VICTA PRIME CENTER 102 loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other VICTA

PRIME models. The loudspeaker is placed immediately underneath the television set. Otherwise please

adhere to the general recommendations outlined in the previous chapters.

HECO VICTA PRIME SUB 252 A

The VICTA PRIME SUB 252 A active subwoofer visually and acoustically ideally matches the other

loudspeakers in the Vica series. Please refer to the separate operating instructions supplied with this

product.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS

All HECO loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls

in the central position – i.e. with “linear” amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far

delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this can actually destroy the

speaker units!

If the output of your amplifier is significantly higher than the rated power handling capacity of your

speakers extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This doesn’t actually happen

often but you should be aware that it is possible.

Weak amplifiers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your speakers at medium

volumes because weak amplifiers may overload much faster than powerful ones and this causes

measurable and audible distortion, which is extremely dangerous to your loudspeakers.

Always turn the volume down immediately as soon as you hear distortion! If you like listening to loud music

make sure that your amplifier can deliver at least as much power as the speakers’ power-handling rating.

THE SOUND YOU CAN’T HEAR...

Amplifiers, tuners and CD players can all produce inaudible high-frequency signals – and this doesn’t

only apply to cheap products. If your tweeters fail at low or medium volumes you should have a qualified

technician check your system components for dangerous inaudible signals.
