BASIC CONNECTION

The diagram below shows the basic connection of your unit to a CD player and a 

turntable and a pair of loudspeakers.

Connections

LOUDSPEAKERS

Check the impedance of your speakers. When using a pair of speakers, you can 

use types with an impedance of between 4 and 8 Ohms. When using two pairs of 

speakers, you must use types with an impedance of 8 Ohms each, see later section.
The red coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals 

are negative (-). Make sure correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector 

or the sound can become weak and “phasey” with little bass.

USING BARE WIRE CONNECTIONS

Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off approximately 10mm (3/8”) 

or less of the outer insulation. More than 10mm could cause a short circuit. Twist 

the wires tightly together so there are no loose ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal, 

insert the speaker cable, tighten the terminal and secure the cable.

Note: 

All connections are made using standard loudspeaker cable.
