Connecting
Specialist loudspeaker cables will offer a higher
standard of reproduction than general purpose
'bell' or 'zip' wire. Use cable with generous amounts
of copper. Thin cables reduce the bass and restrict
the dynamic range.
Speaker cable has a stripe or tracer along one core.
By convention this is connected to the positive
terminals. The cables connecting the amplifier to
the front loudspeakers should ideally be the same
length. Never join cables - use complete lengths.
Preparing Cables
Split the cable to a depth of about 40mm. Bare the wire
to a depth of 10mm and twist the ends to gather any
stray wires. Crop the cable leaving 7mm of bare wire
exposed.
Connecting a Terminal
Unscrew the terminal anticlockwise to expose the
mounting hole in the base of the terminal column.
Insert the bare end of the cable into the hole. Re-
tighten the terminal fully hand tight. Make sure
there are no stray wires which could touch adjacent
terminals.
In the EU it is against safety regulations to use 4mm
loudspeaker plugs.
Cleaning
Clean cabinets with a barely damp cloth. Do not use solvent based cleaning
materials. If the cabinets become stained, remove the stain with a cloth lightly
moistened with water, white spirit or isopropyl alcohol depending on the stain.
Then lightly buff with a cloth to remove any residue of the cleaning agent. Never
use abrasives of any kind.
