CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Warning!
To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making
connections to the speaker system.
Choosing cable
We recommend 16 gauge cable or thicker for runs up to 25 feet (8m) and 12 gauge wire or
thicker for longer runs. (We use a custom-configured 12 gauge oxygen-free cable in our
crossover networks.)
Connecting with bare wire:
Insert bare wire into holes and tighten.
Connecting with banana plugs, pins or spade lugs:
The gold-plated binding posts accept standard banana plugs and
pins, and can accommodate spade lugs to 5/16-inch.

Basic Connections — QBx 20 Monitor, QBx 15 Mini
and QBx Center
The QBx 20 Monitor is shown in the connection
illustration. The QBx 20 Monitor has dual conection
terminals that allow bi-wiring and bi-amplifying.
The QBx 15 Mini and QBx Center each have a single
pair of terminals, but are connected in the same
way. (Ignore references to terminal jumper straps.)
Keep the speaker terminal jumper straps on the
QBx 20 Monitor in place.
When making connections, be sure to connect
+ to + (red) and – to – (black).

when bi-wiring each speaker.
Unscrew both sets of terminals and remove
the jumper straps.
