3. Connections
All connections should be made with the audio equipment
switched off.
There are 2 linked pairs of terminals on the back of the
speaker. For conventional connection (above left), the
terminal links should remain in place (as delivered) and
just one pair of terminals connected to the amplifier. For
bi-wire connection (above right), the terminal links should
be removed and each pair of terminals connected to the
amplifier independently. Bi-wiring can improve the resolution
of low-level detail.
Ensure that the positive terminals on the speaker (marked
+ and coloured red) are connected to the positive output
terminal on the amplifier and the negative terminals on the
speaker (marked – and coloured black) are connected to the
negative output terminal on the amplifier. Incorrect connection
can result in poor imaging and loss of bass.
Ask your dealer for advice when selecting speaker cable.
Keep its total impedance below the maximum recommended
in the speaker specification and use a low inductance cable
to avoid attenuation of high frequencies.
