Connecting Your Speakers

We recommend that you connect your speakers using high quality dual conductor stranded wire of 16 gauge or heavier, for lengths up to 25 feet (8m). Remember, the lower the gauge number, the heavier the wire. Use heavier gauge wire for longer runs. Please contact your audio/video dealer or installer for specific cable recommendations and further information regarding special circumstances. The terminals themselves are designed to allow the use of very heavy speaker wire or connectors.

WARNING: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making any system connections.

It’s important to observe polarity while making speaker connections: red (+) terminals on the amplifier to red (+) on the speaker,black (–) on the ampli- fier to black (–) on the speaker. Look carefully at the wires you are using and note that one of the conductors of each pair will typically be identified by color, printing on the outer jacket, ridges on the outer jacket, or a thread intertwined with the wire strands. By convention, the marked wire is con- nected to the red (+) terminal.

WARNING: Before turning on the amplifier, be certain that no stray wire strands are touching across any terminals as this might damage your amplifier.

You can connect your speakers by using a variety of audio connectors such as banana plugs, pin connectors, spade lugs, etc., or you can:

1.Remove ½-inch (13mm) of insulation from each wire end.

2.Twist the stranded wire together, keeping the two ends separate.

3.Push down on the connector post and place the appropriate wire through the postholes in the connectors.

Finally, check the polarity of your front Left/Right speakers by listening to some stereo music with good bass content. If the sound seems “hollow,” unusually spread out,or seems to have weak bass,recheck your connections for proper polarity and correct any out of phase connections by reversing the connections to one speaker only, if necessary.

Be sure to connect red (+) on the speaker to red (+) on the amplifier and black (–) on the speaker to black (–) on the amplifier.
