Normal single wiring

For single wiring, we recommend that you use the 

SPEAKER 1

 set of terminals on your amplifier. If each 

speaker has more than one pair of connecting terminals, 

use the terminals labelled 

LF

 or ‘Low Frequency’.

Connect the red positive terminal of the right speaker 

connection on the amplifier (labelled 

R+

) to the positive 

terminal of your right speaker. Similarly, connect the 

black negative terminal of the right speaker connection 

on the amplifier (labelled 

R-

) to the negative terminal 

of your speaker. Repeat the process for the left speaker, 

using the terminals labelled 

L+

 and 

L-

 on the amplifier.

WARNING: If your speakers support bi-wiring, there will be a 

strip of conductive metal connecting the low-frequency (

LF

)

terminals to the high-frequency (

HF

) terminals; this MUST NOT 

BE REMOVED in a single-wired system.

Notes on making speaker connections

 

<

Do not make any connections to any amplifier while it is switched on. We recommend that your 

amplifier is completely disconnected from the mains supply before starting.

 

<

Before switching your amplifier(s) on for the first time after connecting to speakers, please check all 

connections thoroughly. Ensure that bare wires or cables are not touching each other or the amplifier’s 

chassis (which could cause short circuits), and that you have connected positive (+) to positive and 

negative (–) to negative. Be sure to check the wiring for both the amplifier and the speaker.

 

<

After making connections: switch the amplifier(s) on, select a source signal, then gradually increase the 

volume to the required listening level.

 

<

If you are unsure as to how your system should be connected, or need advice on bi-amping, please 

contact your Arcam dealer who will be happy to help you.

Connecting 

loudspeakers

There are many different ways of connecting your 

loudpeakers to your A49 or P49/P349 and the following 

section describes how to connect and configure the 

loud speakers and amplifier for the most common 

configurations.

Bi-wiring

Bi-wiring is performed in the same way as single wiring 

except that, a pair of cables are used to connect the 

amplifier to each speaker.
Follow the instructions given for single wiring; then 

perform the same actions, this time connecting the 

SPEAKER 2

 set of terminals on your amplifier to the 

terminals labelled HF or ‘High Frequency’ for each 

speaker.

WARNING: Speakers that support bi-wiring have a strip of 

metal that connects the low frequency (

LF

) terminals to the 

high frequency (

HF

) terminals. This MUST BE REMOVED in a 

bi-wired system.
