Precautions

To prevent inductive phenomena causing humming or distortion, the speaker cables should not be run together with electrical energy conductors, microphone cables, or line-level audio lines.

Use speaker cables that have markings to distinguish the polarity, such as insulation or conductors of different colors.

Before using the loudspeaker, carefully check that all the connections have been made correctly to make sure there are no accidental short circuits that could cause electrical sparks.

Verify that the polarity of the connections to all of your loudspeakers is correct. When more than one loudspeaker reproduces the same frequencies, but with opposite polarity, there will be sound cancellations. Therefore, if any of the loudspeakers

are wired so that the +/- connection polarity is reversed with respect to the others, incorrect reproduction will result. Most notably, the bass response will suffer. This is especially true when loudspeakers are situated in adjacent positions where the sound waves readily interact with each other.
