Connecting the Speakers to Your Audio System

The LS42/52/62 speakers have convenient color coded 5-way binding post terminals that will accept 16-12 gauge speaker wire. After stripping the ends of your speaker wire, open the binding post to reveal the eye. Thread the wire into the eye, and close the terminal.

Speaker wire is usually coded to maintain proper system phas- ing. This can be by color coding, or one conductor may have a printed marking or a rib along one edge that will not be found on the other. Identify which type of polarity coding that your wire is using. You must carefully observe that the positive terminal of the speaker output on your ampliﬁ er is connected to the posi- tive terminal of the LS42/52/62 speaker. Likewise, the negative terminal of the ampliﬁ er’s speaker output should be connected to the negative terminal of the LS42/52/62 speaker (Fig. 2).
