CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKER

1.For each loudspeaker wire, separate the two conductors on each end so that at least 2 inches are free.

2.Strip away 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor on each end.

3.If you have any connectors (gold pins or bananas) which you prefer to use, affix them to the stripped wire ends now. Only gold-plated connectors should be used outside, as they will not tarnish or corrode.

4.If using the bracket to attach to a solid surface, slide the loudspeaker onto the bracket. Do not tighten the knobs completely. Angle the loudspeaker so that the rear terminals are accessible.

5.Using correct polarity at the loudspeaker, connect left- and right-channel wires to the two sets of five-way binding posts, as shown in Figure 11. Connect the other end of each loudspeaker wire to the receiver (or amplifier) in the same way.
