Niles Audio Speaker manual Connecting and Installing the Loudspeaker

CONNECTING AND INSTALLING THE LOUDSPEAKER

1.At each loudspeaker, separate the loudspeaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each loudspeaker wire.

2.On each set of loudspeaker connectors, press down the spring-loaded lever, insert the appropriate conductor, and then release the lever, as shown in Figure 15. Gently tug on the loudspeaker wire to make sure it is held in place. If not, repeat this procedure until it is.

NOTE: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY: POSITIVE (+) GOES INTO THE RED TERMINAL AND NEGATIVE (–) GOES INTO THE BLACK TERMINAL.
