Carefully remove any overall sheath or split the figure 8 cable to a depth of about 75mm (3”). 
Carefully strip the insulation on each wire to a depth of about 12mm (1/2”) exposing the 
bare core. If the conductor is stranded, twist the strands together on each conductor. 
Unscrew the binding post. There is a cross-hole about 5mm from the panel end of the 
binding post. Insert the bared conductor through the hole and tighten the binding post 
securely making sure that there are no loose strands or bare ends protruding through 
the post. 
Carefully observe polarity ensuring that the RED (+) speaker terminal is connected to 
the RED (+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK (-) speaker terminal to the BLACK (-) 
amplifier terminal. 
When all the channels are connected to their respective speakers the amplifier is ready 
for use. 
 

 
 
 

Multi-Amping The Loudspeakers 

Set-up 

 
If the Loudspeakers utilise more than one drive unit with individual input terminals, for example a Tweeter and a 
Woofer, then the loudspeaker performance will greatly benefit from Bi-Amping. Dedicating one amplifier to the 
Tweeter and another to the Woofer isolates them from each other hence reducing distortion and increasing 
reserved power. Speakers work far better with most amplifiers when Multi-Amped than using one yet more 
powerful amplifier. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality cables such as 

ROKSAN 

HDC-02S 

High Definition Loudspeaker Cable. Many speaker cables such as the ROKSAN HDC-02S are 

directional. Please observe this directionality. DO NOT use a speaker cable with conductor size less than 16 
AWG (1.6mm Diameter). The Binding posts accept conductor sizes up to 12 AWG. 

NOTE: 

 
Kandy Integrated Amplifier 

MkI

 

MkII

 do not have pre out 

sockets for multi-amping. 
 
If the loudspeakers have more 
drive units you just add more 2-
channel amplifiers and connect 
respectively.
