Carefully remove any overal sheath or split the figure 8 cable to a depth of about 75mm (3”). Carefully strip the insulation on each wire to a depth of about 12mm (1/2”) exposing the

bare core. If the conductor is stranded, twist the strands together on each conductor. Unscrew the binding post. There is a cross-hole about 5mm from the panel end of the binding post. Insert the bared conductor through the hole and tighten the binding post securely making sure that there are no loose strands or bare ends protruding through the post. Carefully observe polarity ensuring that the RED (+) speaker terminal is connected to the RED (+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK (-) speaker terminal to the BLACK (-) amplifier terminal. When both left and right channels are connected to their respective speakers the

amplifier is ready for use.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality cables such as ROKSAN HDC-01S High Definition Loudspeaker Cable. Many speaker cables such as the ROKSAN HDC-01S are directional. Please observe this directionality. DO NOT use a speaker cable with conductor size less than 16 AWG (1.6mm Diameter). The Binding posts accept conductor sizes up to 12 AWG.

Multi-Amping The Loudspeakers

Setup

If the Loudspeakers utilise more than one drive unit with individual input terminals, for example a Tweeter and a Woofer, then the loudspeaker performance will benefit from Bi-Amping. Dedicating one amplifier to the Tweeter and another to the Woofer isolates them from each other hence reducing distortion and increasing reserved power. Speakers work far better with most amplifiers when Multi-Amped than using one yet more powerful amplifier.

For setup and connection details on Multi-Amping refer to the Kandy Power Amplifier Manual.

Note: Multi-Wiring connects the Woofer and the Tweeter directly to the output of the amplifier and is the first step towards Multi-Amping.
