Connecting to an amplifier

This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting
to an amplifier. Take the following factors into consideration when
choosing speaker cables so that you can get the most from your
speaker system:
• Use heavy-gauge speaker cable if possible, and keep the
cables to the minimum necessary length.
• If the length of cable required for left and right speakers
differs, use cables of the same length, matched to the longer
distance.
• Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind when
using any cable.
• Select cables with as little resistance as possible, and make
sure the cables to the speaker terminals and amp are firm and
secure.

Connecting the cables

1 Switch off the power to your amplifier.
2 Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals (lower)
on the back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is
positive (+) and black is negative (–).
3 Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's
speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp
owner's manual).

• Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate
them to the left (counter-clockwise), insert the speaker cable
wires into the holes in the terminal posts, then tighten the
knobs to secure the short bar as well as the wires.
• You can also connect the speaker's terminals with a banana
plug. When using a banana plug, be sure to remove the cap at
the tip of the input terminal.
• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make
sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the
terminals. Poor connections can create noise and
interruptions in the sound.
• If the cables' wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals,
allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it
places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may
cause the amp to stop functioning, andmay even damage the
amp.
• When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you
won't be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity
of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.
