Making The Connection

First, turn off the power and unplug from the electrical outlet your audio equipment before making any connections.

5 Way Binding Post

Connecting to a 5-Way Binding Post

If you’re using banana clips, just insert the clip into the end of each terminal. Be sure that the knobs on each terminal are screwed down tight so that they don’t rattle. If your receiver or amp has clip connectors, you will have to use either bare wire or a pin connector at that end of the wire.

If you’re connecting with just bare wire, strip off about ½ inch of insulation at each end and twist the wire ends tightly, making sure there are no stray ends. Unscrew the red and black knobs far enough to expose the hole (see illustration above). Insert the twisted ends of the wires, or the pin connector through the holes in the threaded shaft. With your thumb, tighten the connectors back down clockwise to secure the wires. Be sure no stray strands of wire from one post can touch the other post.

For spade plugs, unscrew the red (+) and black (-) plastic compression screws and slide the lugs over the threaded shaft, and thumb tighten the connectors back down clockwise to secure the wires.

IMPORTANT:

Speaker wire is coded to identify which of the two wire strands is positive and which is negative.

The positive (+) strand is usually marked with a colored line, ribbing, or a different shape. The negative (-) strand is usually not colored or ribbed. However, if the manufacturer uses colored wire you may choose one wire color to represent positive (+) and one wire color to represent negative (-). Be sure to maintain this determination for all speaker wire connections on your receiver and your speakers. (i.e. red to red and black to black)
