Connecting to an amplifier
This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to an amplifier. Take the following factors into consideration when choosing speaker cables so that you can get the most from your speaker system:
• Use |
cables to the minimum necessary length. |
• If the length of cable required for left and right speakers |
differs, use cables of the same length, matched to the longer |
distance. |
• Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind when |
using any cable. |
• Select cables with as little resistance as possible, and make |
sure the cables to the speaker terminals and amp are firm and |
Connecting the cables
1Switch off the power to your amplifier.
2Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals (lower) on the back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is positive (+) and black is negative
3Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp owner's manual).

•Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate them to the left
•You can also connect the speaker’s terminals with a banana plug. When using a banana plug, be sure to remove the cap at the tip of the input terminal.
•After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound.
•If the cables' wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp.
•When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you won't be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.
