How to Connect using a single Amplifier

Caution: The AC Power Cord should not be connected to the Power Amplifier until after the Loudspeaker Con- nections have been made. Failure to observe this could result in Electric Shock.

1.Prepare Loudspeaker cables by choosing one of the methods below:

Bare wire cable ends:

Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the cable ends, refer to figures 9, 10 & 11. If the cable is stranded, carefully twist the strands together as tightly as possible.

Figure 11

Note: If desired, the twisted ends can be tinned with solder to keep the strands together or attach spade lugs.

Spade lug or prepared wire connection:

Insert the spade lug connector or prepared section of the cable end into the terminal side access hole, and tighten the terminal cap until the cable is firmly clamped into the terminal so the wires cannot slip out. Refer to figures 12, 13 & 14.

2.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XRT1K LOW Frequency COM (-) Binding Post to the (-) Binding Post of the Power Amplifier.

Notes: 1. It is important to maintain the correct polarity at both ends of the Loudspeaker cables.

2.For proper operation the metal jumpers must be installed between the Loudspeaker Terminal Posts as illustrated.

3.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XRT1K LOW Frequency 8Ω (+) Binding Post to the (8 ohm) Binding Post of the Power Amplifier.

4.Tighten all of the Loudspeaker and Amplifier Binding Posts.
