Connecting your speakers
Connecting your speakers to your amplifi er must only be performed with the amplifi er
turned off . Otherwise damage may occur. Connect the red speaker terminal
(+) to the
positive speaker output on your amplifi er. Now connect the white speaker terminal (-) to
the negative speaker output terminal on your amplifi er.
Bi-wiring and bi-amping
The FM-15 features a double set of high-quality gold plated copper binding posts
that can accommodate separate cables and/or amplifi ers for high and low frequency
reproduction respectively.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Permanent damage
may occur to your audio system if the copper shorting plates are not removed
before connecting more than one amplifi er to your speakers!
There are many theories about bi-wiring and bi-amping. Our best advice is to experiment
with diff erent cables, amplifi ers and methods of connection. Whatever performs best
in your system might not work equally well in another setup or in a diff erent room. In
general, our advice would be to use the same kind of cable both for bi-wiring and bi-
amping, and also to use identical amplifi ers when bi-amping. This is simply due to the
fact that both methods will add more headroom and clarity to the sound reproduction.
The introduction of diff erent amplifi ers and/or diff erent cables may cause issues with
sound integration and cohesive performance.

When bi-wiring and bi-amping; remember to remove the copper shorting plates.
