■CONNECTIONS

•Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) with the speaker cable.

•Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier (or receiver) and the speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the other side of the cable.

•Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked

R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity

(+, –). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

How to connect:

1Loosen the knob.

2Insert the bare wire. [Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each speaker cable by twisting the coating off.]

3Tighten the knob and secure the cable.

Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cable at the terminal.

Note

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker or the amplifier, or both of them.
