YG Acoustic Kipods

Vjayh, I have Anat Studio Reference II speakers. I run one interconnect per channel from each speaker to the Pre-out of my integrated VAC amplifier. It happens that I am using RCA terminations, but the subwoofer modules of the Anats will accept either RCAs or XLRs. There is a small external switch that should be set to either RCA or XLR. Various cable manufacturers offer subwoofer cables, but I haven't had time to experiment with them as yet. In any case, with the Anats you need two cables, one for the right channel, the other for the left. It is a painless and, insofar as I can see, a foolproof operation.

Vjayh, It occurs to me that I may not have worded my reply to you as clearly as I might. When I talk about "one interconnect per channel from each speaker," I am talking about the subwoofer drivers. You need one interconnect cable for each subwoofer. The upper modules, which contain the tweeters and mid-woofers, are connected in the usual way -- that is, a pair of speaker cables from each upper module to the amp. So each channel of the tweeter-mid-woofers reuires a pair of speaker cables, and each subwoofer channel (each lower module) requires one interconnect cable, to connect your preamp to the dedicated subwoofer amp that is in the lower module. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my first posting.

If I may simplify even further, each Kipod active system requires one speaker cable for the passive upper module, and one single-ended interconnect and one power cord for the active lower module.

Don't forget the need for PCs with active subwoofers.

Unless of course you so choose.
