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)

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)
