How ould one configure the speaker terminals on the DP to ouput frequencies below the 250?
I get the one on the pre outs.
And how does one post pictures here?

Maybe this is it?
On the pre outs:
Set the High pass settings and set the cross over to 250.
On the sepaker terminals:
Choose Low Pass and also 250?
Connect LF Terminals on speakers to Pre out of Dev and HF terminals of Dev to HF Terminals on the speakers?

@georgev - please could you clarify what you're trying to achieve? A configuration that involves connecting the pre-amp outputs directly to your speaker terminals probably isn't a good plan - have I misunderstood something?

If you're trying to bi-amp your speakers so that the HF and LF units are driven separately then I think you're going to need more than just one D-Premier.

The Pre amp outputs are going to a Pass Labs XA 30.5, and from there to the HF terminals on my speakers, and i would hook up the speaker terminals of the D Prem directly to the LF terminals of the speakers.Looking at Bi-amping the speakers using the Pass for the Mids and Highs, and the DP for the Lows.
make sense? Currently usin the DP as a pre and the Pass as a Power amo.

Yes, that makes sense.  It's a bit different to what you said here:

My apologies.

Think it would work well?
Can’t try it now as we are locked down.

@georgev No problem. Yes, I think it should work. Please let us know how it sounds, when you get chance to try it!

yes exactly...

you might have to adjust the relative levels between the speakers and the pre-out to match the gain of the two amplifiers, but yes this is the idea.
