WARNING: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the AC power (mains) outlet.

Preparing the speaker cord

Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. Usually one is ribbed or red (+), and the other plain or black (–). Direct-burial cable has a protective outer jacket around the wires. Consider the following guidelines before cutting any cords:

•Measure the length of cord needed to connect each speaker to your receiver/amplifier

•Strip the outer jacket back 2". Strip the inner insulation on both wires back 1/2" (1.3 cm) (Figure 4).

Connecting the speaker cord to the speakers

1.Connect the positive (ribbed or red) speaker wire to the positive (red) wire from the speaker cable. Twist the stripped wires together.

2.Secure the wire nuts with a twisting motion. If you prefer to reinforce the wire nuts, use electrical tape (Figure 5).

3.Connect the negative (plain or black) wire to the negative (black) wire from the speaker cable, as in steps 1 and 2 above.

Connecting the speaker cord to the receiver/amplifier

1.Connect the speakers on the left side of the listening area to the left channel of your receiver/amplifier (Figure 6).

a.Attach the positive (ribbed) wire to the red (+) terminal. b. Attach the negative (plain) wire to the black (–) terminal.

2.Connect the speaker on the right side of the listening area to the right channel of your receiver or amplifier, as above.

Note: If your Free Space® 51 speakers are being connected to your receiver/amplifier as a secondary set of speakers, be sure to make the appropriate connections to the “B” channel.
