Speaker Connection Polarity

 

l

All the speakers in a system must be hooked up with the same

polarity or “in phase.”The terminals

i

on the SoundWare XL speakers are color coded to identify the “+” (red) and “–” (black) connections.

s

All wire is marked in some way so you can tell one conductor from

the other. The marking may be a

h

ridge molded into the insulation of one conductor, or it may have a stripe on the insulation, or it may

 

 

be color coded. Use the marking on the speaker wires to be sure that the “+” terminal of the amplifier

 

is connected to the “+” terminal of the speaker, and “–” is connected to “–”, at every connection.

Connecting the Speakers

Before connecting the speakers:

1 Turn off all the system components.

2 Set the transformer switch to the appropriate position. If the speaker is being connected to a conventional audio system, set the switch to the Dir X position. This overrides the transformer and sends the signal directly to the crossover. If the speaker is part of a 100V/70V Constant Voltage system, see the information on the following page.

Separate the two conductors of the wire. Remove about 3/8” of insulation from the end of the wire. Push down on the top of the terminal to open the hole for the wire. Insert the wire and release the terminal to secure it. Be sure there are no loose strands of wire. Tuck the wire into the channel in the back of the speaker to keep it neat and out of sight.

The SoundWare XL can pivot on its mount. Vertically it can go from facing straight out, to being tilted down 40 degrees. When the flat wall mounting bracket is used they can pivot side-to-side 20 degrees. (Note: Corner mounting will not allow the speaker to pivot side-to-side.) Loosen the pivot set screw, pivot the speaker into position and retighten the screw.
