IMPORTANT:  

Your speakers have been

packed as a DIRECT or DIFFUSE matched

set.  Make sure that each speaker is mounted

on the desired side, with the active bass driver

(smaller dust cap) pointing to the listening

area for a DIRECT sound field or the passive bass

driver (larger dust cap) pointing to the listening area for a DIFFUSE sound field.  The end result is that

the DIRECT and DIFFUSE arrows on the back of each speaker will be pointing in the same direction

on either side of the room.

If the viewing area is in a corner, the speakers

may be placed to either side on adjacent

walls.

Connecting Your VR-MX Speakers

Connect the speaker’s terminals to those on the amplifier or receiver designated for “surround” or

“rear channel effects.”  Maintain consistency of the 

+

(red) and 

(black) connections by using the

markings on the wire. Connect the ribbed side to the 

+

(red) terminals and the smooth side to the

(black) terminals.

WARNING:

To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or

receiver when making connections to the speaker.

Using the five-way binding posts:

The binding posts permit easy

connection to pins, spade lugs, bare wire and cable banana plugs.

The metal surfaces are plated with 24K gold to resist corrosion.

NOTE:  Most dual banana plugs will not fit behind a flush wall mount

installation, however single wire banana plugs should fit.
