Please tell me how to post a picture, want to post a picture of the config.
have saved it as a screen shot
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!
(30-Mar-2020, 12:06)georgev Wrote: [ -> ]Like so?

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.
