3.APPLICATION

3.1Connection

Fig. 3.1: Connecting an amplifier

Please follow these steps to connect your TRUTHs to a power amp: Loosen the plus screw (red ring with a “+”) and the minus screw (black ring with a “-”). Now insert the plus cord of the speaker cable connecting the amp to your TRUTH into the plus opening. Then, connect the minus cable into the minus opening. Tighten the screws. Do the same to connect the other TRUTH.

+Make sure that all connections are done properly. Speaker cables are color-coded to help avoid confusion. You’ll know that the signal is inverted (i.e. you’ve mixed up the connections) when you notice that bass frequencies are getting lost and when the stereo characteristic of the signal is majorly worse.

+Always make sure that bare wire ends never touch the open end of another speaker cable, speaker connectors or metal parts of your amp.
