OUTPUTS:

Connect your speakers to the binding post outputs in the rear of the amp. The speaker wire may be connect by bare wire (directly 

connected usually for permanent connections), banana plug, or spade connector. Connections are made to Channel one and Channel 

two output for stereo mode or across the red terminals of Channels one and two for Mono Bridge Mode. 

Important Notice:

 Although 

a speaker will operate with the positive and negative leads plugged into either terminal on the amplifier binding post, be sure to plug 

the negative lead into the black terminal and positive lead into the red terminal. Ensuring proper polarity will avoid your speakers being 

out of phase, that can cause a loss of bass response.

Bare WIre Connections: (Diagram 5)

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using bare wire; Unscrew the red and black caps on the binding post, be sure not 

to  completely  remove  or  unscrew  the  red  and  black  caps.  Strip  back  the  wire  insulation  1/2”  (13mm).  Insert  the  bare  wire  into  the 

hole that was reveled by unscrewing the binding post cap. After inserting the wire into the binding post hole, screw the binding post 

cap  down on the wire. To reduce the risk of shock or damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post 

does not come in contact with that of another.  

Spade Connector: (Diagram 6)

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using spade connector; Unscrew 

the red and black caps on the binding post, be sure not to completely remove or 

unscrew the red and black caps. Insert the spade connector in to the binding post 

and tighten the caps down on the spade connector. To reduce the risk of shock or 

damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post does 
not come in contact with that of another. 

Banana Plug:

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using banana jacks; Be sure that 

the  red  and  black  caps  on  the  binding  post  are  tighten  down  completely.  Insert 

the banana jacks into the caps of the binding post, be sure that the banana jack is 

inserted securely to avoid the risk of it popping out.

Mono Bridge Connections:

Mono  bridge  operation  connections  will  follow  the  above  descriptions  however, 

when operating in mono bridge operation the speaker connections will run between 

the two positive (red) leads. Use channel two output for negative and channel one 

output for positive connection. (
