Do not compromise the performance of your system by using
inferior quality speaker cables. We recommend that high quality
cables of 16 gauge or higher be used. Your professional dealer will
give you good advice. Always unplug all A.C. powered components
before making any loudspeaker or component connections. This
will avoid the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment.
Follow these steps to connect the speaker to your amplification
system:
1. Route the speaker cable from your amplification system to the
speakers. Avoid routing the speaker cable near electrical wires
and do not nail or staple the cable.
2. Separate about 100mm of speaker cable at each end.
3. Using a wire stripper, remove about 10mm of insulation from
both ends of each conductor, and then twist the strands of each
conductor (Fig. 1).

4. Observing polarity is of the utmost importance while connecting
your speakers. Ensure that the red (+) terminals on your
amplification system are connected to the red (+) on the
speakers, and black (-) on your amplification system to black (-)
on your speakers (Fig. 2). Press the spring-loaded red or black
tab back to reveal the connecting hole. Insert the stripped end of
the speaker wire, then release the tab.
5. If your speakers are wired incorrectly they will be out of phase
and sound hollow and indistinct, with a weak bass. Re-check
your connections for correct polarity and reverse the
connections if necessary.
