■CONNECTIONS

<Standard connections>

•Connect the screw-type terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker terminals of the amplifier with the speaker cable (sold separately).

•Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier and the speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the other side of the cable.

•Connect one speaker to the left (L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

How to connect the cables:

1Loosen the knob.

2Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each speaker cable by twisting the coating off.
