plug usually has a "GND" marker molded on it so you can keep polarity straight after unplugging and replugging. In standard practice, the GND side connects to the black terminal of the speaker.
To connect wires to the terminals if you are not using a banana plug:
1.Strip about 1/2" (15 mm) of insulation from the ends
of each wire. If the wire is stranded, twist the strands together at the end.
2.Turn the red and black terminal caps
3.Insert the wires into the holes, observing proper polarity.
4.Tighten the terminal caps so that they hold the wire firmly. Make sure no insulation is caught inside the terminal, to avoid a loose connection.
2.2POWER AND PROTECTION
Alesis recognizes that professional speakers need to be strong to survive, so the Monitor One is designed to handle twice the power of other
100 watt power rating into 4 ohms, like the Alesis
Be sure to verify that your amplifier is rated for 4 ohm speakers. Some older amplifiers are not and may fail if overloaded. Alesis is not responsible for any failures caused by the use of an
Also, there is no situation where an amplifier rated beyond 200 watts should ever be used because of the danger of damaging the Monitor One. To do so is asking for trouble and will void your warranty. On the other hand, if you use too small of a power amplifier, it is possible to damage the Monitor One if you run it into heavy clipping and distortion in an effort to get sufficient volume. This can lead to failures of both the amplifier and the speaker, as
