Roberts Radio MP-16CD manual Connecting loudspeakers

Connecting loudspeakers

The loudspeakers should be connected using the cable supplied as shown. The two loudspeakers are identical. One loudspeaker should be placed in front of and to the left of the normal listening position, and the other in front and to the right.

It is important for good bass reproduction and stereo location that both speakers are wired in the same phase with respect to the amplifi er outputs. This can be done as follows. The red terminal on the back of the amplifi er marked R and and + should be connected to the red terminal of the right-hand loudspeaker. The black terminal marked R and - should be connected to the black terminal of the right-hand loudspeaker. Using the other piece of speaker cable, connect the terminals marked L + and L - to the red and black terminals of the left hand speaker. The cable supplied uses two different colours of wire to help you make these connections. Use one colour for the red terminals and the other for the black.

The placement of the loudspeakers will depend upon the layout of the room. Location is not critical, but do not place them in direct sunlight or over sources of heat such as radiators. Optimum sound quality will result if they are to be placed slightly away from any corners, and with each loudspeaker an equal distance from the normal listening position and pointing towards the listener.
