Connecting to your amplifier

The cables you use to connect the speakers to your power amplifier can have a significant effect on the sound of your audio system. Your Red Rose Music dealer can recommend ap- propriate speaker cables for the distance between the amplifier and the speakers such as our own 336J speaker cable.

Each speaker has two terminals on the rear panel. The terminals are binding posts that can accept spade lugs, pins, banana plugs or bare wires. If you are using wires without plugs or pins, unscrew the large nut on each post until you can see the hole in the binding post. Push the bare end of each wire through a hole and tighten the nut.

Make sure the cables connected to both speakers are in phase with each other: connect the (+) binding post on the amplifier to the (+) terminal on the speaker, and the (-)binding post on the amplifier to the (-) terminal on the speaker.

Some speaker stands have access holes that you can use to fill them with sand, lead shot or some other heavy material. Filling your stands will generally make them more stable (be- cause the center of gravity will be closer to the floor), and less resonant. You may also hear an improvement in your speakers’ bass performance when you fill the stands.

Many speaker owners use an adhesive material such as Bostik Blu-Tack® to attach the bot- tom of the speakers to the top of the stands, and to reduce the danger of damage when a speaker slides off the stand if somebody bumps into it. Red Rose Music neither recommends nor discourages the use of an adhesive, but if you choose to use one, place a small piece of adhesive under each corner of the speaker where it mates to the speaker platform. When you want to remove the speaker from the stand, remember to twist the speaker before you lift it off the stand, in order to avoid damage to the speaker’s wood finish.

Cleaning Your Speakers

To prevent damage to the delicate ribbon drivers in your Rosebud speakers, do not vacuum the front panel grille cloth when it is mounted on the speakers. Always remove the grille cloth panels before you clean them.

The wood cabinets have a clear sealed piano finish, so it is not necessary to use any kind of wax or other wood treatment on them. To clean the cabinets, use a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using any abrasive compounds on the cabinet.
