SPEAKER CONNECTION

3.258"

Turn your amplifier OFF before connecting speakers.This will avoid damage which could result from accidental shorting of speaker cables.

The following chart identifies the minimum gauge requirements for various cable lengths:

MINIMUM GAUGE REQUIREMENTS

LENGTH	DIAMETER	GAUGE
Under 4.5 m (15 ft)	1.3 mm (0.05 in)	16 awg
Under 9 m (30 ft)	1.6 mm (0.06 in)	14 awg
Over 9 m (30 ft)	2.0 mm (0.08 in)	12 awg

Your speakers are equipped with binding posts that can be used with pin connectors, as well as with bare wire. Refer to the diagram below and using high-quality speaker cable (see your dealer), connect one speaker at a time to your receiver/amplifier. Connect the red (+) amplifier terminal to the red (+) speaker terminal and the black (–) to the black (–) (see next page). Push binding posts to secure.

Turn your amplifier on and listen to your speakers. If you notice a complete lack of mid-bass and a dislocated image, one or more of your speakers may be connected out-of-phase (their polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speaker’s cable is connected with correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–). Make sure wires are firmly fastened. Push binding posts to secure.
