Bare Wire Connections:

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using bare wire; Unscrew the red and black caps on the binding post, be sure not to completely remove or unscrew the red and black caps. Strip back the wire insulation 1/2” (13mm). Insert the bare wire into the hole that was reveled by unscrewing the binding post cap. After inserting the wire into the binding post hole, screw the binding post cap down on the wire. To reduce the risk of shock or damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post does not come in contact with that of another.

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using spade connector; Unscrew the red and black caps on the binding post, be sure not to completely remove or unscrew the red and black caps. Insert the spade con- nector in to the binding post and tighten the caps down on the spade connector. To reduce the risk of shock or damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post does not come in contact with that of another.

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using banana jacks; Be sure that the red and black caps on the binding post are tighten down completely. Insert the banana jacks into the caps of the binding post, be sure that the banana jack is inserted securely to avoid the risk of it popping out.

Mono Bridge Connections:

Mono bridge operation connections will follow the above descriptions however, when operating in mono bridge operation the speaker connections will run between the two positive (red) leads. Use channel two pos- itive output terminal for the negative connection and the channel one positive output terminal for the positive connection.

Typical speaker output using spade connectors. Insert bare wire into the binding post and tighten.
