SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

CONNECTION TIPS

Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown.

Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding

(+)and (–) terminals. Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics, including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal and black to denote the (–) terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a stripe.

It is important to connect both speakers identically:

(+)on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the amplifier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

With the advent of multichan- nel surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material.

CST55

To provide a neater installa- tion, the CST55 allows you to insert the speaker wires through holes in the base.

Simply separate and strip

the wires as described above, loosen the terminals and insert each wire into its corresponding hole in the base. Then tighten down the terminals.

The hole in the center

of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors. To comply with European CE certification, these holes are blocked with plastic inserts at the point of manufacture.

To use banana-type connectors requires the removal of the inserts.

To use the binding-post speaker terminals, unscrew the colored collar until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar down until the connection is tight. The hole in the center

of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors. To comply with European CE certification, these holes are blocked with plastic inserts at the point of manufacture.
