Connecting speakers
Notes about speaker cables
o
Use commercially-available speaker cables to connect the speakers.
o
Use the shortest speaker cables possible. The longer the cable, the
greater the resistance value and the more that damping perfor-
mance is reduced. Moreover, length also increases impedance and
capacitance, degrading the sound quality of high frequencies.
o
Use left and right speaker cables that have the same length.
How to connect speaker cables
Use commercially-available speaker cables to connect the + terminal
of the unit to the + terminal of the speaker and the − terminal of the
unit to the − terminal of the speaker.
o
Use speakers with at least 4Ω impedance.
o
If you plan to output sound from two sets of speakers at the same
time, use speakers with at least 8Ω impedance.
o
If the exposed tip of the core wire of a speaker cable contacts
another cord or terminal, a short could occur.
Never allow a speaker cable to short.
o
Do not connect more than one amplifier to a speaker.
o
Do not bundle speaker cables with power cords. Doing so could
cause noise.
V
The power plug should always be disconnected
when connecting speaker cables.
