PARTS GUIDE

Premium Gold-Plated Five-Way Binding Posts

Gold plating gives you a corrosion-free high quality speaker wire connection.
The connectors' five-way design allows you to use any of the most popular wire
terminating methods.

Easy Finger-Sized Access

The binding posts are mounted upside down in a molded recess on the back of
the OS-20. This prevents water from pooling at the connection. The recess is
large enough to fit your fingers, so you can easily loosen or tighten the speaker
connections.

Weather-Resistant Construction

The hardware is made of stainless steel or brass, and the binding posts are plat-
ed with gold. The bracket and grill are made of aluminum (oxidation is self-lim-
iting with aluminum) and it is powder coated (powder-coating gives absolutely
even coverage everywhere) for the ultimate rust-proof construction. The enclo-
sure itself is shatterproof. The OS-20’s components are weather-resistant, UV-
resistant, salt-water corrosion-resistant, and immune to damage from tempera-
ture extremes (-50 to over 200 degrees Fahrenheit).
