CONNECTION OF THE LOUDSPEAKERS
Either a single speaker pair (A) or two speaker pairs (A+B) can be connected to the amplifier SV-232.
Both outputs are identically provided with the stereo signal of the currently selected input source. For each
loudspeaker you will find two connector screws (positive + und negative –) at the amplifier's backside.
One side of the speaker cable must be attached here. Each pair of screws has a label "R" or "L" nearby
to clarify to which stereo channel it belongs. At the loudspeaker connection terminal there are similar con-
nector screws or connectors. There, the polarity of each screw (+ or –) can be identified as well and the
other side of the speaker cable associated with this speaker must be attached. Make sure only connector
screws of the same polarity will be connected by each speaker cable wire: a knob marked "+" in the
amplifier's terminal must be connected with a speaker's connector screw marked "+" as well.
Our sketch shows all connections necessary for one pair of speakers. If a second pair of loudspeakers is
intended to be used, the connector screws of the lower row (Speakers B) must be connected in a similar
fashion to the additional speakers' input connectors. However, this is only permitted if both loudspeakers
have a nominal impedance of at least 8 Ω!
Loudspeaker cable
SV-232
If every speaker is connected in a conventional way (a two core speaker cable for each loudspeaker) and
you own loudspeakers that are equipped with Bi-Wiring terminals (four connector screws) you have to make
sure that the metal brackets (contact pieces consisting of small metal plates or short pieces of cable which
are supplied with the speakers) are applied to the terminal and that each one connects the two knobs of the
same polarity (e.g. both connectors marked "+"). The connector screw labelled "+" and "R" at the ampli-
fier's backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labelled "+" connectors of the loudspeaker assi-
gned to the right stereo channel. Accordingly, the connector screw labelled "–" and "R" at the amplifier's
backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labelled "–" connectors of the loudspeaker assigned to
the right stereo channel. Connect the left side loudspeaker in the corresponding way.
The stereo sound can only be heard via loudspeakers if the loudspeaker switch (1) of
the associated pair of speakers (A/B) has been switched on.
If you are using ready made loudspeaker
cables with 4 mm banana plugs, all you need
to do is connect the two plugs on each loud-
speaker cable end to the two associated spea-
ker connectors. At first installation after unpak-
king the amplifier it is necessary to remove the
small plastic security plugs from the speaker connector holes (completely
remove the connector screw, remove the plug and refit the screw again).
Turn all connector screws clockwise to fasten them.
