CONNECTING

To make the most of the Confidence performance, please con- sider the following suggestions when setting up your system:

1. CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS

Connect a two-pole (+/-) loudspeaker cable to the speaker binding posts, located at rear of the base plate. The Confidence’s high quality, gold plated WBT binding posts can accommodate different connection systems:

4.0mm banana plugs - The pins can be put directly into the binding post without any screwing necessary.

Cable spades - Un-tighten the binding posts, insert the spade into the opening, and secure the spade by tightening the posts.

Bare wires - Un-tighten the binding posts and place the cable into the binding posts. Tighten the posts.

With bare wire terminations, make sure that no thin metal strand of wire is in contact with another strand of wire. Tighten the posts, and check the contact after a few days to make sure that it hasn’t loosened.

With every connection system, ensure that the contact is tight and has a proper contact area. Connections with similar gold plating as the Confidence binding posts will typically offer the best results and remain corrosion-free.

2. CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER

Connect the other cable ends to the loudspeaker outputs of your switched-off amp. Please make sure that the red marked post of the speaker are connected to the red marked output of your amp, and the white or black marked post to the white or black marked output accordingly.

Dynaudio loudspeakers feature a carefully fine-tuned frequency crossover, using selected parts and an advanced circuitry to achieve a truly balanced and smooth frequency response. Therefore, dividing the frequency sections through bi-wiring or bi-amping is neither beneficial nor optional.
