Bi/Tri-amping AV receivers

Bi/Tri-amping

— the ability of the receiver to work in Bi-amping and/or Tri-amping mode.

The basic principle of both of these modes is that the audio signal is divided into several frequency bands (LF and HF for Bi-amping, in the case of Tri-amping, mid frequencies are separated separately), and each band is processed by its own amplifier and output to its own specialized set of speakers. . In this way, a noticeable improvement in sound quality can be achieved. However, note that the specific implementation of this function in AV receivers may be different. The simplest option involves two or three built-in power amplifiers, each of which outputs the entire audio range to its own set of connectors. To such a device, you need to connect an external crossover (frequency filter) or speakers with built-in filters for each frequency band. More advanced receivers may have their own built-in crossovers, in which case only part of the frequency range is output to each set of connectors; this eliminates the need for external frequency filters. However, anyway, to use Bi/Tri-amping, you will need speakers that support this connection format.
