The Cables

Examine your speaker cables. On the ends, there may be spade lugs or banana plugs, each one color-coded red or black like your speaker binding posts to help you identify the red and black (positive and negative) wires on each end of the cable. If the cable ends are bare wires and lack color coding, check the wires: one may be copper-colored, the other silver. Some generic cables may simply have a colored thread or a ribbed pattern on the plastic insulation to indicate the positive wire. Alternatively, some speaker cables, like Axiom’s, may have writing on one side or the other (perhaps the brand name, for example) or even a positive sign or negative sign on each of the conductors. Whichever you have, just follow the Red-To- Red, Black-to-Black connection rule or use the + to + or - to - connection scheme for each cable pair.

The Receiver (Amplifier)

Look at the speaker connectors on the rear panel of your receiver or amplifier. Unless it’s very old, these will usually be red and black binding posts, like those on your speakers, or red and black spring-loaded push connectors. Vintage amplifiers may have only screw terminals.

The Red (+) terminal on your receiver’s Right speaker output connects to the Red (+) binding post of the Right speaker. The Black (-) terminal on your receiver output connects to the Black (-) binding post on the Right speaker. Follow the same pattern to connect the receiver’s Left speaker outputs to the Left speaker’s binding posts, then the left surround (the speaker to your left from your listening seat), and right surround speakers, the center-channel speaker, and additional rear speaker(s) required by 6.1- or 7.1-channel systems.

If your A/V receiver or amplifier has the new Consumer Electronics Association color coding (pictured below) for each speaker channel, the negative terminal (-) will always be black, however, the positive terminal (+) will have a different color corresponding to each channel of the surround system.

If you find this color coding confusing, note the positive (+) and negative (-) polarity for each speaker and the speaker cable.

Left Surround (side): Blue Right Surround (side): Gray

Les Câbles

Examinez vos câbles de haut-parleur. Il y aura peut-être à chaque extrémité des cosses à fourche ou des fiches banane. Chacune est codée rouge ou noir, comme les bornes de vos enceintes, pour vous aider à déterminer le fil positif et le fil négatif. Si les extrémités des fils sont dénudés, sans code couleur, examinez bien les fils - l’un deux pourrait être de couleur cuivre, l’autre argent. Certains câbles bon marché utilisent une gaine de plastique codée couleur ou striée pour identifier le fil positif. Certains câbles, comme celui d’ Axiom, ont une écriture inscrite sur un seul côté du fil pour différencier une polarité de l’autre. Quelque soit les câbles que vous utilisez, connectez- les toujours en respectant le code “rouge à rouge” et “noir à noir” (ou “+ à +” et “- à -”).

Le récepteur (ou l’amplificateur)

Examinez les bornes de sortie haut-parleur situées sur le panneau arrière de votre récepteur ou amplificateur. À moins qu’il ne soit très ancien, les bornes seront rouges et noires, comme celles de vos enceintes, ou du type à ressort, également codées rouge et noir. Les très anciens amplis sont dotés de barrettes à vis.

La borne ROUGE ( + ) de la sortie du canal droit de votre ampli doit être reliée à la borne ROUGE ( + ) de l’enceinte droite. La borne NOIRE ( - ) de la sortie du canal droit de votre ampli doit être reliée à la borne NOIRE ( - ) de l’enceinte droite. Répétez l’opération pour connecter les sorties du canal gauche de votre ampli aux bornes de l’enceinte gauche, puis pour connecter les enceintes ambiophoniques gauche et droite (à la gauche et à la droite de votre position d’écoute), l’enceinte du canal central, et les enceintes additionnelles arrière requises par les systèmes 6.1 ou 7.1.

Si votre récepteur ou amplificateur respecte le nouveau code de couleur de C.E.A pour chaque canal, le terminal négatif (-) sera toujours noir, le terminal positif sera de différente couleur correspondant a chaque canal du système ambiphonique.

Si vous êtes confus, notez la polarité positive (+) et la négative (-) pour chaque haut-parleur. et le câble de chaque haut- parleur.
