Model 7900 7-Channel Power Ampliﬁer

Owner’s Manual

Connecting Your Ampliﬁer

cause indistinct or confused imaging, and muddled and cloudy sounds. To avoid

incorrect phasing or polarity, be certain to use cable that has distinct markings,

colors, stripes, wording, or grooves on each side of the speaker cable.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the negative (–) speaker output is

NOT connected to signal or c hassis ground anywhere in your system.

Damage to the power ampliﬁer may result. The speaker outputs on your

ampliﬁer are true balanced outputs. Both the (–) and (+) terminals are

active output s. Connecting either of these terminals to anything else

will activate the ampliﬁer’s protection circuit s and may cause dama ge.

Some subwoofers have separate inputs for left and right sp eaker con-

nections. If you use these, make sure the (–) inputs are NOT connected

together. If they are, use only one set of inputs (left or right).

When making connections to the amp and speakers, adhere to a consistent

pattern of using one side of the wir e to the red ter minals and the other

side to the black ter minals. When using cable with marki ngs on one side

only, traditional convention is to consider the marked side of the wire as the red,

or positive (+) connection, and the non-marked side as the black or negative

(–) connection.

Next, loosen the knobs of the ampliﬁer’s speaker output terminals, far enough

so that the pass through hole is revealed. Note that one conductor of the speaker

cable should have no markings, and the other should have a red line, brand

name markings, a colored thread, or some other positive indication. Follow the

proper connection instructions for your system with regard to which terminals

are used. Once the connections are made, twist the cap back so that the con-

nection is secured, but do not over tighten or use tools, as this may break the

delicate wire strands and decrease system performance.

If you are using spade lugs, connect them to the speaker wire using the manu-

facturer’s instructions, and then loosen the caps on the speaker terminals. Place

lugs between the plastic cap and the back of the terminal. Be sure to observe

proper polarity, using the appropriate speaker hook-up icons for your system’s

conﬁguration. Using your ﬁngers, tighten to obtain a positive contact.
