PLINIUS KIOKIO
LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS
The connection of your loudspeakers to the output posts of the Plinius Kiokio must be
made by an ‘instructed person’ or by ready made loudspeaker cables only.
Connect your left loudspeaker (ie. the one on your left when seated in your normal
listening position) to the left output terminals, ensuring that the red positive (+) terminal
on the amplifi er is connected to the red positive (+) terminal on your loudspeaker. Do the
same with the black or negative (-) terminals. Repeat this process for the right outputs.
TERMINATION QUALITY
Quality of the connections must be examined to ensure that high performance
trouble free operation is enjoyed. Check that the connections are tight but do not
over tighten. If bare wires are used make sure that no loose strands of wire short
cross the other terminals or the amplifier chassis. When using plugs such as
bananas, be sure to use good quality plugs with a firm fit.
BI-WIRING
Bi-wiring uses two pairs of loudspeaker cables for each channel loudspeaker. You will
notice that the rear panel of your Plinius Kiokio has two pairs of output terminals for
this purpose. Be sure to follow correct practises for stereo and mono configurations
when using bi-wiring.
PHASING (OR POLARITY)
It is important to achieve good stereo imaging in your listening room. By observing
the wiring instructions above, each power amplifier/loudspeaker combination should
be in phase. If you experience poor stereo image and/or a lack of bass, check that
the loudspeaker wiring has been connected correctly. We recommend that you use
one of the easily obtainable ‘test discs’ to help you ensure both phasing and channel
orientation are correct. If in doubt, consult your Plinius dealer for advice.
To achieve a sound performance that is correctly aligned to your room, make sure all
of the leads carrying signals for the right channel loudspeaker are connected to the
right input to the amplifier from your preamplifier or CD player etc. Signals for the left
channel should be wired in a similar fashion.
