Connecting Each Speaker with One Pair of Speaker Wires Only
When the C/L/R 2500(s) are hooked up using simply one set of speaker
wire per speaker (with no separate low-level input for the subwoofer sec-
tion) a special circuit takes an infinitesimally small signal from the speaker
level input and converts it to a low-level signal which then drives the sub-
woofer power amp.
With all the gold jumpers in place, (see diagram # 1) simply connect any
of the red (+) terminals of the speaker to the red (+) terminal of the center
channel speaker level outputs on your amplifier or receiver, and any of the
black (-) terminals of each speaker to the black (-) terminal of the center
speaker level outputs channel on your amplifier or receiver. It is essential
that all the speakers (center, left, right and rears) be connected in the same
way (in phase) to its own channel of the amplifier. If you experience a great
lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the other.

Since in most cases the C/L/R 2500 will be used as a center channel, we
will give hook-up instructions as such. If you use C/L/R 2500s across the
front (or a pair in stereo) simply hook-up each C/L/R 2500 by repeating
similar hook ups for the left and right channel C/L/R 2500s to their appro-
priate channel as for the center.
