POLARITY – PHASING
It is important to achieve good stereo imaging in your
listening room. By observing the wiring constructions
above, each power amplifier / loudspeaker combination
should be in phase. If you experience a poor stereo
image and / or a lack of bass, check that the loudspeaker
wiring has been connect correctly. We recommend that
you use one of the easily obtainable "test - disc" to help
you ensure both phasing and channel orientation are correct.
If in doupt, consult your Audio Valve dealer for advice.
Do not make any other connection to any of the amplifiers
negative or positive output terminals.
Quality of the connections must be examined to ensure a high
performence trouble free operation is enjoyed.Check that the
connections are tight, but do not overtighten with exessive
use of spanners etc. If bare wires are used, make sure that no
loose strands of wire short across to the other terminals or
the amplifier chassis. When using plugs such as Banana, be
sure to use good quality one`s with a firm fit.
