HOW – Hooking up the Speakers

HOW – HOOKING UP SPEAKERS IDENTIFYING POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE (“+” AND “-”)

Speaker wire consists of two conductors, and the wire should be manufactured so you can discriminate between the two. If your wire has transparent insulation, one con- ductor may be copper-colored and the other silver-colored. Generally, professionals denote the copper one as POSI- TIVE (+) and the silver one as NEGATIVE (-).

If you’re using wire with an opaque insulation covering, there will be one of the following differentiating markings:

1.A series of ribs or grooves on one conductor

2.A painted stripe or dotted line on one conductor

3.A string interwoven in the wire strands of one conductor

By convention, the marked conductor is positive (+) for connection at both ends.

NOTE: It is important that you label your wires “left” and “right” at both ends when you run them to elimi- nate confusion during the installation process.

1.Mount the speaker frame as shown in Figure 10 . Center and level the frame in the cut-out hole and tight- en the #2 Phillips screws until the clamps rotate and are drawn up snugly from behind, clamping the frame in place. Tighten each screw snugly but do not over tight- en.

2.Cut off excess wire, leaving about 2 feet extending through the frame.

3.Pull the speaker wire conductors apart so they’re sep- arated for the first two inches from their ends.

4.Using a wire stripper, diagonal cutters, or a knife, care- fully remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor.

5.Twist the strands in each conductor into a tight spiral, as shown in Figure 10.

6.Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals. Press down on the binding posts while insert- ing the wire into the hole. Connect the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal for correct polarity.

7.Make sure that no stray strands of wire are touching the other conductor.

8.Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for the other speaker(s).
