Lower the volume before making any adjustments to the system (e.g. switching amplifier
inputs or raising or lowering pickup arm) and switch off the amplifier before checking or
making any changes to any connections in the system. Never use your loudspeakers for any
other purpose other than domestic listening.
Warning
The 4mm plugs used on modern hi-fi speaker cables should never be inserted into European
mains sockets even though they may fit. Needless to say, this is pointless and can be fatal if
tried. Make sure that young members of the family are prevented from ever doing this.
BI-WIRING
Bi-wiring involves the use of two pairs of speaker cables between your loudspeakers and
amplifier. If you wish to bi-wire your EPIC 1/ EPIC 2/EPIC speakers, it is essential that you
first unscrew all the binding posts and remove the metal links that join them together.
Store them safely for possible future use. Once the links are removed, the drive units will
be electrically separate and should be connected to the driving amplifier with individual
high quality cables, as shown.

CABLE TERMINATION
A set of 4mm plugs is supplied which will allow you to terminate your loudspeaker cables.
These plugs have been selected to provide the best possible electrical connection.
To terminate your cables simply remove enough insulation to allow the plastic shroud on
the plug provided to fit over the end of your cable. Then make a connection to the plug and
screw the shroud fully over the plug until no bare plug is evident. Once again, if you are in
doubt consult your Epos dealer.
Residents of the European Union may wish to use bare wires into the terminal posts, as
4mm plugs have been outlawed.
If bare wires are used, take care to avoid stray strands which can 'short circuit' the power
amplifier. Spade type connectors may also be used.
