QUICK CONNECTIONS 

Switch off your amplifier whenever making connections. 

Take your speaker cable and connect the positive terminal on the amplifier left channel, 
 or coloured red, to the positive terminal on the left loudspeaker. The negative 
terminal on the amplifier left channel, marked - or coloured black, must be connected to 
the negative terminal on the left loudspeaker. Repeat connections for the right channel. 

If you choose to bi-wire your loudspeakers, please read the detailed section on page 4. 

Switch on the amplifier with the volume turned down low. Check that the bass and treble 
sounds come from both speakers. If not, switch off and remake the connections. 

STANDS 

For loudspeakers designed for use on stands, best results will be obtained if the stands are 
rigidly  coupled  to  the  floor  using  carpet  piercing  spikes.  Floor-standing  loudspeakers 
should also be coupled to the floor using the carpet piercing spikes supplied. This will help 
preserve the outstanding mid-band clarity which is a hallmark of Epos loudspeakers. Epos 
has designed its own stands. 

The floor-standing models are supplied with their own support plinth. Contact your dealer 
for further information or visit the Epos website www.epos-acoustics.com

SPIKES 

Four  threaded  spikes  are  provided  with  each  floor-standing  speaker,  together  with 
individual locking nuts. These should be screwed into the metal inserts in the bottom of 
the plinth. Once these are adjusted to correct the level of the speaker and stop it from 
rocking, tighten the locking nuts, so as to prevent the spikes from coming loose. 

Adjusting the front spikes higher will tip the speaker up and can give sonic benefits. 

CONNECTION 

Ensure  that  your  amplifier  is  switched  off  before  you  make,  or  break,  any  connections, 
because damage may occur to your amplifier if shorted. 

Your  Epos  loudspeakers  are  equipped  with  insulated  gold-plated  binding  posts  with 
excellent  electrical  contact  and  current  specification.  The  posts  are  connected  to  the 
individual drivers as denoted on the rear panel label. Removable metal links enable the 
loudspeaker to be conventionally wired with a single cable, bi-wired or bi-amped. These 
techniques often bring benefits in terms of increased clarity and definition. If you are in any 
doubt consult your dealer or visit www.epos-acoustics.com
