OUTPUTS:
Connect your speakers to the binding post outputs in the rear of the amp. The speaker wire may be connect by bare wire (directly connected usually for permanent connections), banana plug, or spade connector. Connections are made to Channel one and Channel two output for stereo mode or across the red terminals of Channels one and two for Mono Bridge Mode. Important Notice: Although a speaker will operate with the positive and negative leads plugged into either terminal on the amplifier binding post, be sure to plug the negative lead into the black terminal and positive lead into the red terminal. Ensuring proper polarity will avoid your speakers being out of phase, that can cause a loss of bass response.
Bare WIre Connections: (Diagram 5)
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.
Spade Connector: (Diagram 6)
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 connector 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.
Banana Plug:
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 output for negative and channel one output for positive connection. (See page 8 Diagram 8)
