How to Connect Loudspeakers and Sensor Components

1.Prepare the loudspeaker hookup cables as follows: A. Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the

loudspeaker cable ends to just fit within the bind- ing post with no

exposed wire acces-

sible. Refer to fig- ure 1.

B. If the cable is stranded, carefully

twist the strands together as tightly as possible. Refer to figures 2 & 3.

Note: If desired, the twisted cable

section can be tinned with a solder iron to keep the

strands together and/

or attach appropriate connector ends.

C. Insert the bare section of the cable end or connector into the access hole, and tighten the terminal nut clockwise until the cable is firmly clamped into the terminal so the wires cannot slip out. Refer to fig- ures 4, 5 & 6.

Note: The bare sections of the cable ends or the non insulated part of the connectors must not be exposed on either side of the terminal access hole.

D. Repeats Steps A through C for each speaker cable used with the amplifier.

4. Connect the loudspeaker cables to the appropriate ter- minals for your loudspeakers, being

careful to observe the correct polari- ties.

5.Install the plastic protective loud- speaker terminal covers that were

supplied with your amplifier. Refer to figure 7.

6.Optionally connect a Coax cable from the EXT SEN- SOR to a McIntosh Wall Sensor or WK-2 Keypad in a second room.
