Power Amplifier

Please observe the proper polarity

One of the terminals on the rear of the speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (–). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (–) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the black (–) terminal on your speaker. Most wire has some indication (such as color code, ribbing, or writing) on one

of the two conductors to help maintain consistency.

Set Bookshelf and Center Speakers to “small” in your receiver’s Bass Management settings.
