How to Connect using a single Amplifier

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

1.Prepare two 14 inch (35.6cm) Jumper Wires for connecting the Low Frequency Column, Lower and Upper Sections together by choosing one of the methods below:

Bare wire cable ends:

Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the cable ends, refer to figures 12, 13 & 14. If the cable

is stranded, carefully twist the strands to-

gether as tightly as possible.

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 15, 16 & 17.

2.Connect a 14 inch Jumper Wire from the Low Frequency Column Upper Section (-) Binding Post to the Low Frequency Column Lower Sec- tion (-) Binding Post.

3.Connect a 14 inch Jumper Wire from the Low Frequency Column Upper Section (+) Binding Post to the Low Frequency Column Lower Sec- tion (+) Binding Post.

4.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XRT2K HIGH Frequency INPUTS 3 (-) Binding Post on the Low Frequency Column Lower Section to the (-) Binding Post C of the Power Ampli- fier.

5.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XRT2K HIGH Frequency INPUTS 3 (+) Binding Post on the Low Frequency Column Lower Section

to the (8 ohm) Binding Post C of the Power Amplifier.

6.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XRT2K MID Frequency INPUTS 3 (-) Binding Post on the Low Frequency Column Lower Section to the (-) Binding Post B of the Power Amplifier.

7.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XRT2K MID Frequency INPUTS 3 (+) Binding Post on the Low Frequency Column Lower Section to the (8 ohm) Binding Post B of the Power Am- plifier.

8.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XRT2K LOW Frequency INPUTS 3 (-) Binding Post on the Low Frequency Column Lower Section to the (-) Binding Post A of the Power Ampli- fier.

9.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XRT2K LOW Frequency INPUTS 3 (+) Binding Post on the Low Frequency Column Lower Section to the (8 ohm) Binding Post A of the Power Amplifier.

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

11.Connect the remaining XRT2K Loudspeaker(s) and Power Amplifier Channel(s) in the same manner.
