Loudspeakerconnections

To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switchthepoweroffbeforeconnectingthespeakers.Checktheimpedance of your speakers. Speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 8 ohms (each)arerecommended.

The coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals are negative (-). Make sure correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector or the sound can become weak and “phasey” with little bass.

Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off approximately 10mm (3/8”) or less (no more than 10mm, as this could cause a short- circuit)oftheouterinsulation.Twistthewiretightlytogethersothereareno loose ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal knob, insert the speaker cable, tightentheknobandsecurethecable.

Note: All connections are made via loudspeaker cable, except if using an activesubwooferwhichwouldbeconnectedviaastandardRCAphonocable.

Banana Plugs (4mm standard) connected to the speaker cable are recommendedfordirectinsertionintothespeakerterminals.
