Receiver’s Speaker Outputs

Speakers and electronics have corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. 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 poor imaging.

To use the binding-post speaker terminals, unscrew the colored collar until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible. 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. To use banana-type connectors requires the removal of the inserts. Do not remove these inserts if you are using the product in an area covered by the European CE certification.

BI-WIRING

The bi-wire connection method requires one amplifier and two sets of speaker wires. By removing the shorting bars, connections may be made to the individual network sections using four conductors, one for each of the four terminals.

For single-wire connection, leave the shorting bars in place and connect only a single set of speaker wires (two conductors) to the two upper terminals.

The supplied self-adhesive rubber feet may be attached to the bottom corners of your speakers to protect your furniture.

MODELS: L880, L890

These models feature four rubber feet that enable them to be placed on a smooth- surfaced floor, such as tile or hardwood. Four metal spikes are supplied for use when the speaker is to be placed on a carpeted surface, to decouple the speaker from the floor and prevent unwanted damping. To insert the spikes, gently lay the speaker on its side (not its

front or back) on a soft, nonabrasive surface. Each spike screws into the threaded insert in the center of each rubber foot. Make sure all four spikes are screwed in completely for stability.

NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the spikes, the feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its new location.
