Page: 14 / 15

Based on the selected mode, Performance Manager adjusts the labels found on the speakers and amplifier channels to

reflect the type of wiring. For example, the subwoofer label

S1 + S2

indicates parallel wiring mode and that both woof-

ers are driven by one amplifier channel. When the label shows

S1 | S2

that indicates discrete wiring mode and that

each woofer is powered by a different amplifier channel.

Both the amplifier channels and speakers have to display the same type of label for a valid connection assignment be-

tween an amplifier channel and a speaker. If the two are not the same, PM will prevent connecting an amplifier chan-

nel to a speaker.
