How to Connect using a single Amplifier

Caution: The AC Power Cord should not be connected to the Power Amplifier until after the Loudspeaker Con- nections have been made. Failure to observe this could result in Electric Shock.

1.Prepare Loudspeaker cables by choosing one of the methods below:

Bare wire cable ends:

Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the cable ends, refer to figures 20, 21 & 22. If the cable is stranded, carefully twist the strands together as tightly as possible.

6.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XCS2K LOW Frequency INPUTS 3 (-) Binding Post to the (-) Bind- ing Post A of the Power Amplifier.

7.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XCS2K LOW Frequency INPUTS 3 (+) Binding Post to the (8 ohm) Binding Post A of the Power Amplifier.

8.Tighten all of the Loudspeaker and Amplifier Binding Posts.

Note: If desired, the twisted ends can be tinned with solder to keep the strands together or attach spade lugs.

Spade lug or prepared wire connection:

Insert the spade lug connector or prepared section of the cable end into the terminal side access hole, and tighten the terminal cap until the cable is firmly clamped into the terminal so the wires cannot slip out. Refer to figures 23, 24 & 25.

2.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XCS2K HIGH Frequency INPUTS 3 (-) Binding Post to the (-) Bind- ing Post C of the Power Amplifier.

Note: It is important to maintain the correct polarity at both ends of the Loudspeaker cables.

3.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XCS2K HIGH Frequency INPUTS 3 (+) Binding Post to the (8 ohm) Binding Post C of the Power Amplifier.

4.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XCS2K MID Frequency INPUTS 3 (-) Binding Post to the (-) Bind- ing Post B of the Power Amplifier.

5.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the XCS2K MID Frequency INPUTS 3 (+) Binding Post to the (8 ohm) Binding Post B of the Power Amplifier.
