Figure 4. Compositions Overture OVTR 2 (not shown) and OVTR 3 speakers feature gold-plated terminals that can be connected in several different ways; e.g., banana plugs, spade terminals, and direct wiring (as shown here).

WIRING THE SYSTEM

After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. First turn off all audio system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make your connections. For speaker connections, use #18 gauge speaker wire (or #16 for runs over 25 feet) with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered negative polarity (i.e., – ). Also, consult the owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier, receiver, or television to confirm connection procedures.

If your system includes a Dolby ® Surround Pro Logic preamplifier or A/V receiver, set the center-channel mode to NORMAL. This will route the low frequencies (below 100 Hz) away from the center-channel speaker to the front left and right speakers.

Compositions Overture OVTR 2 and OVTR 3 speakers have integrated powered subwoofers and only require one set of output leads for the left and right channels. Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figures 4 (below) and 5 (on next page). Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver, or television to the respective + (red) terminal on each Compositions Overture speaker. Similarly, connect the (black) terminals in the same way.

Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to - or - to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.
