RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER POWER
To get the best performance from the Soundbar, an amplifier or receiver with the following
power rating is recommended:

-
between 20 and 110 Watts RMS per channel
ES-500-SNDBAR-50

SPEAKER WIRE
To connect the Soundbar to an AV Receiver or Amplifier, high-quality 14 to 16 gauge stranded
speaker wire is recommended. The wire may be connected directly to the speaker’s binding
posts. Remember that you will need 3 runs of speaker wire to the Soundbar location as it
contains the left, center, and right speaker. A special wire management channel has been
included in the rear of the speaker so that a wall mounted speaker can sit flush on the wall.
