1. Boundary Compensation

Switch

This switch compensates for bass and mid-bass loading that occurs when a loudspeaker is wall-mounted, com- pared to when it is away from a wall.

Switch it to the left if your loudspeaker is close to a wall or other large objects that may cause reflections. Switch it to the right if the loudspeaker is placed more out into the room, such as when on a stand. Experiment with the switch to find the position that suits your preference.

2.Ribbon Binding Posts

3.Woofer Binding Posts

The loudspeakers have two sets of binding posts that are joined with bridge clips (4) for normal operation.

With the bridge clips in place, you can connect your amplifier outputs to either positive/negative pair of binding posts.

Always use high quality connections and speaker wires, and make sure there are no loose fittings or stray wire strands. They will accept bare wire, pins, banana plugs and spade connec- tions.

Connect the positive speaker-level output of your power amplifier or receiver to a positive (red) input of the loudspeaker. Connect the negative speaker-level output of your power am- plifier or receiver to a negative (black) input of the loudspeaker.

Make sure that the positive and nega- tive connections do not touch, or this may damage your power amplifier.

Tighten all four binding posts to make sure the bridge clips are making a good contact.

4. Bridge Clips

From the factory, the two positive bind- ing posts are electrically joined together with a bridge clip, as are the two nega- tive posts. Leave the clips in place, unless you are considering biwiring or biamping.

If the bridge clips are removed, the loudspeaker can be biwired or biamped. The ribbon posts (2) are then used for connection of speaker-level power to the ribbon section. The woofer posts (3) are for connection of speaker- level power to the woofer section. (See the next two pages for more details.)
