Note: You can find the proper speaker wire at your local Radio Shack store.

Speaker wire has two individual conduc- tors (wires) covered with insulation, and is often marked to help you make the proper connections. Insulation on one side of the wire might have a ridge or colored stripe. Or, the two conductors might be different colors (silver and copper, for example).

For the best bass response, be sure to connect + on the speaker to + on the amp and – on the speaker to – on the amp.

1.Separate the conductors at each end for about 2 inches.

2.Strip away 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of each conductor.

3.Unscrew the PA-115’s positive (+) terminal and insert a conductor’s stripped end into the hole on the side of the terminal post. If the wire is too large to insert into the hole, strip away some conductor to reduce the wire’s size.

4.Hand tighten the terminal to secure the wire in place.

5.Connect the conductor’s other stripped end to the amplifier’s posi- tive (+) terminal.

6.Repeat Steps 3-5 to connect the PA- 115 to the amplifier’s negative (–) ter- minal.

Using the PA-115’s Phone Jack

Instead of using the speaker’s terminal posts, you can use the speaker’s phone jack to make the connection.

If your amplifier has an 8-ohm phone jack, you can use speaker cable that has a phone plug on each end (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 42-2470) to connect the PA-115’s 1/4-inch phone jack to the ampli- fier’s phone jack.

Or, if your amplifier does not have an 8- ohm phone jack, you can use speaker wire that has a phone plug on one end to connect the PA-115’s 1/4-inch phone jack to the amplifier’s terminals.
