Phoenix Gold ATO42/52/62 Performance Considerations, Connecting the Speakers to Your Audio System

Performance Considerations

Like all speakers, the ATO series of Indoor/Outdoor speakers sound best when placed in the line of sight to the listener, with no obstructions.

Caution : Do not place them within two feet of CRT type televi- sion or computer screens, as these speakers are not video shielded (LCD and Plasma types are not affected).

Connecting the Speakers to Your Audio System

The ATO42/52/62 speakers have convenient color coled 5-way binding post terminals that will accept 16-12 gauge speaker wire. After stripping the ends of your speaker wire, open the binding post to reveal the eye. Thread the wire into the eye, and close the terminal.

Speaker wire is usually coded to maintain proper system phas- ing. This can be by color coding, or one conductor may have a printed marking or a rib along one edge that will not be found on the other. Identify which type of polarity coding that your wire is using. You must carefully observe that the positive terminal of the speaker output on your amplifi er is connected to the positive terminal of the ATO42/52/62 speaker. Likewise, the negative terminal of the amplifi er’s speaker output should be connected to the negative terminal of the ATO42/52/62 speaker (Fig. 2).
