HOW – Hooking up the Speakers

CONNECT TO THE AMPLIFIER (NO WALL CONNECTOR PLATE)

1.Cut off excess wire, leaving enough to easily reach from the wall opening to your stereo system. If there’s a possi- bility that you may move the amplifier to another part of the room, consider leaving some excess wire coiled up. Coil wire into concentric circles and secure with a tie wrap or tape. If you’ve used sufficiently thick wire, this extra length will not affect speaker performance and could make re-routing easier if the room is rearranged later.

2.Pull the speaker wire conductors apart so they’re sep- arated for the last two inches from the end.

3.Using wire strippers, diagonal cutters, or a knife, care- fully remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor.

4.IMPORTANT: Before connecting the speaker wires to the amplifier/receiver, use a multimeter to test the speaker wires for short circuits. If there is indication of a short in the wiring, it must be corrected before the speakers are connected to the amplifier/receiver. Failure to do so may result in damage to the stereo equipment.

5.Connect the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED ter- minal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal of the amplifier/receiver. For proper sound, the “left” and “right” speaker wires must be connected to the corresponding “left” and “right” speak- er terminals on the amplifier/receiver.

CONNECT TO THE AMPLIFIER (WALL CONNECTOR PLATE)

1.Route wiring through an electrical outlet box, retrofit junction box, or low voltage mounting ring. Mount the box or ring to the drywall.

2.Terminate the wires to a wall plate with binding posts (Russound PlateMate BP10D is suitable), attaching the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK terminal. Mount the wall plate to the outlet box.

3.Using the remaining speaker wire, cut two pieces long enough to reach from the wall plate to the back of the amplifier/receiver.

5.Terminate wiring at both ends, from the amplifier/receiver to the wall plate. Connect the POSITIVE

(+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal of the amplifi- er/receiver. For proper sound, the “left” and “right” speak- er wires must be connected to the corresponding “left” and “right” speaker terminals on the amplifier/receiver.

6.Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the other speaker(s).
