Connecting the Loudspeakers

Speaker Cables

SPEAKER CABLES

Burmester recommends using cables with a large cross-section to connect the 
loudspeakers to the power amplifier. A large cross-section allows you to maintain the 
damping factor of the power amplifiers for optimal control of the loudspeakers. The best 
results are achieved by using original Burmester speaker cables, which have the same 
electrical and tonal characteristics as the internal wiring of Burmester loudspeakers and 
amplifiers. These cables have been optimised and tested for use with our loudspeakers.

r

  

ATTENTION

The insulation on your selected speaker cable must match that of the original 
Burmester loudspeaker cable and must have a flame rating of at least VW-1.

 

$

Please contact the manufacturer or your dealer for details.

Before connecting the loudspeakers, please also read the operation manuals 
for the components you plan to connect.  
Pay attention to the correct polarity: red = positive, black = negative

r

  

ATTENTION:  

INCORRECT CONNECTION CAN LEAD TO 
DAMAGE!

 

$

A short circuit or a faulty connection can damage the loudspeakers and other 
components.
