6CASCADE SPEAKER SYSTEMS
WIRING THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any
connections.
For speaker connections,use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity
coding.The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually
considered positive polarity (i.e.,+).
NOTE:If desired, consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker wire and
connection options.
Toensure proper polarity,connect each +terminal on the back of the
amplifier or receiver to the respective +(red) terminal on each speaker,
as shown in Figure 4.Connect the –(black) terminals in a similar way.
See the owner’s guides that were included with your amplifier or receiver
and television to confirm connection procedures.
IMPORTANT:Do not reverse polarities (i.e.,+ to –or –to +) when
making connections.Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished
bass response.
Figure 4.This figure shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals.
Figure 5.This example shows how to connect bare wires to the
terminals.Banana plugs may also be inserted directly into the rear
of the connector.
Figure 6.Wiring diagram shows polarity connections for one channel
of a stereo or home theater system.
