Connecting the Speakers to Your System

Though there are many sizes of speaker wire available. MTX recommends using 18 gauge or heavier wire to connect your loudspeakers to your amplifier or receiver. Before cutting the speaker wire to the proper lengths, be sure to leave an extra two or three feet of surplus wire, just in case you have to move the components around. Using a wire cutter or sharp knife, strip off about half an inch of insulation from both ends. Twist the exposed wires to make them easier to insert in the speaker terminals. Make sure that you unplug your amplifier or receiver before proceeding any further.

When using the MP52 as a center channel or surround speaker follow the hook-up directions included with your surround processor.

It is essential that you connect your two speakers “in phase”. To do so, first take note of the code used on the speaker wire to differentiate between the two wires that run through it.

To wire your speakers in phase, make sure the positive (+) terminals on the back of your receiver are connected with the red terminals on the back of your loudspeakers, and the negative (-) terminals on the receiver are connected with the black terminals on the speakers (see diagram). Note that negative (-) terminals on the receiver may also be marked “common” or “ground” (GND).

Be certain that no stray strands of wire cross from one terminal to another on either speaker or receiver. This could result in a damaging short.
