Testing the Connections

A simple listening test will tell you if your satellites are connected properly. Place the satellites face to face, with about an inch (25mm) between them. While listening to music, reverse the connections at one speaker only. You’ll hear a dramatic change in sound. The connection that yields the fuller and louder sound is the correct one.

After checking the satellites, you can perform this same test with the subwoofer by reversing the speaker wires at one of its two pairs of terminal connectors. If the bass output is reduced, then the original connections were correct.
