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.

Stereo Connections Using the Neutrik Speakon output connectors:

Recent regulatory requirements in Europe have outlawed the use of the dual banana plug and force amp users to terminate their speaker cables with spade lugs or bare wire ends. This is not advantageous to most users that want to reconfi gure their systems or quickly change out an amp. The Neutrik Speakon® connector provides the most convenient solution to this problem, eliminating the need for spade lugs or bare wire end cables. Major speaker manufacturers have been using Speakon connectors on their products for years, so chances are you are ready to use the Speakon connection. With Speakon connectors, you can connect straight from the amplifi er to the speaker. The Speakon connector used on this amplifi er meets all known safety regulations. Once wired correctly, the connector cannot be plugged in backwards, causing the type of inverted polarity situations that have become common with banana hookups. This connection will provide a safe, secure and reliable method of connecting your speakers to your new amplifi er. You can purchase the Speakon® NL4FC connectors from your local audio dealer.
