each end (amplifier end and also speaker cabinet
end) to help you connect the system correctly.
(Fig. 3) Make sure the polarity of the amplifier
outputs matches the polarity of the speakers . i.e.
+ to +, – to – .

Connect all the input and output leads,
double check the wiring, and ensure that
the level controls are turned down before
powering up the system. With an incoming
signal running, turn up each volume control
a small amount to check that everything is
running correctly before increasing the
levels.
