Connecting Your Loudspeakers

It is critical for proper performance that both speakers (left and right) be connect- ed in proper phase. Note that one terminal on each speaker (the +) is colored red and the other (the -) is colored black. Please make certain that you connect the red (+) terminal on each speaker to the red (+) terminal of its channel on your ampliﬁer or receiver and the black (-) terminal to the black (-) terminal. It is essential that both speakers be connected in the same way to the ampliﬁer (in phase). If you experience a great lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the other.

Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at

loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the ampliﬁer too loud and not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember, most ampliﬁers put out their full rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up! (Often, turning the dial half way up is actually full power.) If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the ampliﬁer or get a bigger one.

Using the ProMonitor

in Conjunction with a ProSub

When a pair of ProMonitors is used in conjunction with a ProSub, they may be connected either directly to the left and right channels of your ampliﬁer or receiver, or to the left and right speaker level outputs on a ProSub (when the ProSub is connected via the high-level speaker wire inputs to the left and right channel speaker outputs on your receiver). Connecting the ProMonitor to a ProSub (which includes a built-in high-pass crossover for the ProMonitors) will result in greater dynamic range (the system can be played louder without over driving the satellites) and is recommended for most installations especially when the system is being used for home theater. Because this is the most common set-up, the following instructions relate to wiring the ProMonitors to a ProSub.

Wiring 2 ProMonitors and 1 ProSub for Stereo (2-Channel) Use

1. First, wire the red (+) terminal of the left channel speaker wire output of your receiver or ampliﬁer to the red (+) terminal of the left channel speaker wire (high level) input of your ProSub.

2. Next, wire the black (-) terminal of the left channel speaker wire output of your receiver or ampliﬁer to the black (-) terminal of the left channel speaker wire (high level) input of the ProSub.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the right channel.

4. Wire the red (+) terminal of the left ProMonitor to the left channel red (+) speaker wire (high level) out on the back of the ProSub.

5. Wire the black (-) terminal of the left ProMonitor to the left channel black (-)

speaker wire (high level) out on the back of the ProSub.
