How to Wire Your Speakers

You need to wire your speakers correctly to obtain the best sound quality and the proper image. Wiring should just take a few minutes, but it’s important to do it carefully, since incorrect wiring (such as reversed connections) can result in a poor soundstage or poor bass.

We recommend using 18-gauge or larger speaker wire for runs up to 25 feet (8m), and thicker 16-gauge or larger for longer runs. Strip 1⁄ 2" (12mm) of insulation off the ends of each speaker cable to expose the two conductors and tightly twist the wire strands. Maintain consistency of the + (red) and – (black) connections by using the markings on the wire.

IMPORTANT: Typically, one side of the wire is smooth. Connect this side to the – (black) connection. The other side has a rib or stripe. Connect this to the + (red) connection.

Using the five-way binding posts: The binding posts permit easy connection to banana plugs, pins, spade lugs, and bare wire. The metal

surfaces are plated with 24K gold to prevent corrosion.

Insert the wire in the hole and tighten.
