CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Make sure that all of the system’s electrical components are turned OFF (and preferably
unplugged from their AC outlets) before making any connections.
Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and negative ("+" and "–") connection terminals. All Stage
series speakers have connection terminals that are marked "+" and "–" on the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally,
the "+" terminals have red markings, while the "–" terminals have black markings.
To ensure proper polarity, connect each "+" terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective
"+" (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the "–" terminals in a similar way. Do not reverse polarities (i.e., "+"
to "–" or "–" to "+") when making connections. Doing so will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass
performance.
IMPORTANT : Make sure the (+) and (–) wires or connectors do not touch each other or the other terminal.
Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or amplifier.
USING BARE WIRE OR PIN CONNECTORS:
USING SPADE CONNECTORS:
The Stage series speakers’ gold-plated speaker connectors can accept a variety of wire connector types: bare wire,
pin connectors, spade connectors and banana connectors.
