connections
wire
Use two-conductor stranded-type, insulated wire to connect the speakers to the amplifier. There are many
types of high performance wire available for speaker connection. Your authorized a/d/s/ dealer can
recommend appropriate wire. If you want, standard "lamp" wire or "zip cord" can be used. Use 16 gauge
for runs less than 50 feet, and use 14 gauge or larger, for longer runs. Using wire smaller than 16 gauge
is not recommended.
connecting the speakers
The CM series have color-coded spring loaded input terminals. Pressing the spring loaded terminals
exposes holes in the post. Insert stripped or terminated wires into the exposed hole. Release the terminals
to clamp the wire into place.
polarity
The polarity (the positive/negative orientation of the connections) for every speaker-to-wire and wire-to-
amplifier connection must be the same so that the speakers will be "in phase". If the polarity of one
connection is reversed, bass output is reduced and stereo imaging is degraded.
