BasX Speakers
Connections
Although the BasX speakers have no special connection requirements, the following suggestions
may be helpful:
•
Always use high-quality speaker wire of reasonable gauge (16 gauge or heavier)
•
If you must use thinner wire, try to keep the length as short as possible
•
Be careful to wire both (or all) speakers “in phase” (the plus/red terminal on each speaker to
the plus/red terminal on your amp)
•
Try to use wires of equal length and gauge for symmetrical pairs of speakers
(don’t use a long 16 gauge wire for your Left Front and a short 10 gauge wire
for the Right Front)
•
If you use stranded cables, use care to avoid short circuits (from stray strands touching)
•
Emotiva offers very high quality pre-made speaker cables at reasonable prices
(you will find them in the Interconnects section of our website at www.emotiva.com)
